A group of sugarcane farmers have filed a new application to have the Mumias Sugar Company case be heard by more than one judge.

Gikwamba Farmers Co-operative Limited wants the file before the Commercial Court sent to the Chief Justice Martha Koome to appoint an uneven number of judges to determine if an administrator and a receiver manager can manage ailing companies concurrently.
