Some leaders from Western Kenya have joined farmers opposed to the zoning of sugar mills.

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, Malava MP Malulu Injendi and former chairman of the defunct Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) Saul Busolo argued that introducing zoning will make rogue millers neglect and enslave the farmers.
