The national government has been challenged to emulate the management model applied by private sugar millers, even as it plans to revive the collapsed State-owned millers.

Malava MP Malulu Injendi singled out West Kenya Sugar Company and Butali Sugar Mills domiciled in his constituency as cane millers whose performance and management are outstanding.
