Members of Parliament are in a hurry to see five sugar millers privatised. They said the Government-owned millers need to be sold to enable them survive the influx of cheap sugar imports expected after expiry of tariff safeguards under the Common Market for Southern and Eastern Africa (Comesa).
The lawmakers said the five Government-owned millers, which have been reeling under the weight of colossal debts estimated at Sh41.8 billion, have to be privatised as the government has failed to manage them.
