On June 15, 2020, Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) officials raided two companies in Nyahururu, seizing hand sanitizers for operating without a permit and wrongful use of their permit.
Kebs officials targeted Cascade Industries Limited, which manufactures Scental Hands Sanitizers, and Robico Chemicals Limited, which manufactures Robic Palms Handwash.
"We seized the products from the two companies in Nyahururu for wrongful use of the Kebs permits and for operating without a permit," Kebs officials stated.
