Farmers, former Mumias employees plea to president

Mumias Workers Union members, who in mid-last month were slapped with eviction orders to vacate the company's houses, say this was manifest in the downscaled production witnessed at the company.

Former employees and farmers who supplied cane to Mumias Sugar have asked President William Ruto to move fast and implement promises he made towards revamping the sugar sector and the factory.

The sentiments come a month after the president toured Western and promised to spearhead the streamlining of the sugar sector and revival of the former giant sugar miller and possibly getting a new investor to run it.
