Who are these faceless barons making a kill from high sugar prices?

Kenya’s biggest miller, Mumias Sugar Company, has about 1,000 bags of sugar in its giant warehouse. These bags are only meant for emergencies, its internal consumption and State House. They do not have even a single crystal sugar for wananchi.

“We supply State House directly and the rest of this emergency sugar is used internally by the company or can be supplied to the Government for special functions. We have no sugar for the rest of the market,” a source at the firm told Weekend Business.
