Nzoia Sugar chairperson Alfred Khang'ati has called on the government to prioritize paying off farmers and workers' debts before a new investor takes over the operations of the miller.

Khang'ati pointed out that it has been a norm whenever a government parastatal is leased, workers are affected directly, and in most cases, their arrears are never addressed.
