Police officers apprehended a driver in Nyeri County accused of adding water to milk before selling to unsuspecting customers who reported that the milk was destined for Meru.

“We laid a trap to catch the driver because this is gross misconduct. We got the information this morning and we got concerned prompting us to do something to help the farmers,” a law enforcer stated.

According to the residents who spoke to the press, noted they tracked the driver’s journey to the dairy minutes after handing over the milk to him in the morning. To their shock, only milk transported by the suspect was rejected.

Following the raid, police confiscated the milk as evidence to continue with investigations and ensure the culprits will face the full wrath of the law.

They also discovered that the dairy where the milk was being taken to was not licensed for operation adding to the risk of selling contaminated goods to the public.

The authorities have now launched a search for the owner of the dairy to unravel why the set-up was operating without proper documentation.
