Contraband goods get into Kenya because of porous borders and the laxity of officials, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i told the parliamentary security committee on Thursday.
Matiang'i said they have made these and other mistakes but that they have learnt their lessons.
He promised to table a report on investigations into the illegal importation of goods such as sugar, rice and cooking oil.
Matiangi promised to fix this mistakes and said that within few months importation of contraband sugar into the country will be a thing of the past.
"We work hard but criminals also work hard. A repeated mistake is bad but we have learnt from our mistakes," he said, adding government agencies must coordinate for improvements.
"I do not want to pass judgement on public institutions that we created. Leaders can make mistakes," he was quoted by the star.
Matiangi is one of the best performing cabinet secretaries ever and has transformed both the education system when he was cabinet for education and now he is transforming the security sector as cabinet for interior government and security.
