The Government’s revival of the Pan Paper Mills in Webuye and an announcement that it will give Mumias Sugar Company an additional Sh1.1 billion has triggered angry exchanges between Jubilee and CORD-allied politicians in western Kenya.
Opposition leaders in the region have asked for details of an agreement in which a private investor will take over the mill, and complained that Jubilee would leverage the companies’ revival to popularise itself in the vote-rich region.
