Unscrupulous importers have been flooding the country with illegal sugar for months without security apparatus and agencies, raising alarm (People Daily, April 20, p.2) What does the writer mean? See how that unnecessary comma distorts the sentence?

What is “government moving towards”? Had the state started testing people or it was “moving towards” that?
Pices of women and fresh water sardines have increased by between Sh50 and Sh100 for a 2kg packet (Star, April 20, p.29). “Pices?” Prices, maybe. So women and fresh water are on sale in Migori?
Bad intro: Gospel artiste Rigan Sarkozi sent a legal letter to Daddy Owen last week (Star, April 21, p.19). Halafu? What a drab intro for a story headlined, “Rigan Sarkozi demands Sh2m from Daddy Owen”!

How do rising water levels in Lake Nakuru cause flooding in West Pokot, home of governor “mfupi round”?
