Leaders from the North Rift want the Government to revert management of the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (NKCC) back to dairy farmers.

The farmers opposed to plans to privatise NKCC, have  at the same time criticised the Government for running down the sector, saying the move has hugely hurt their economic prosperity.
