Amani leader Musalia Mudavadi (pictured) has accused the Jubilee government of lacking commitment to revive the troubled sugar industry.
Mr Mudavadi said President Uhuru Kenyatta ought to have formed a judicial commission of inquiry to probe what is hurting the sector.
“Without the commission, Kenyans will never know who dealt the cash-strapped Mumias Sugar Company and other sugar firms a death blow,” said Mudavadi.
He termed the President's decision to form a sugar task force a waste of time and resources.

He was reacting to sentiments by Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala who accused Governor Wycliffe Oparanya of forming a parallel task force to oversee the revival of Mumias Sugar Company.
