President Uhuru Kenyatta's appointee to head Nzoia Sugar Company is facing resistance from his own backyard.

Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi and former MP Alfred Khang'ati have accused Joash Wamang'oli, who the President appointed as chairman of the company's board of directors, of embezzling millions of shillings when he was the Nzoia Outgrowers Company (NOCO) chairman and want his appointment revoked.
