Former Mumias Sugar Company boss Errol Johnson resigned at least three times during his two-year stint at the troubled Mumias Sugar Company before he finally fled to Australia and refused to come back.

In a tell all letter to eight top managers at the miller, the Australian poured out his heart on why he decided not to return to Kenya after he went on leave. “Under the circumstances, I have decided not to return from leave to Kenya. I have come to this decision with somewhat of a heavy heart, although I cannot deny I feel a sense of relief as well,” Johnson writes in the letter sent by email from his home country.
