The High Court has suspended a Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) directive barring milling companies from buying sugarcane from farmers for three months.
Justice William Musyoka stayed the controversial directive pending the hearing and determination of a case filed by aggrieved cane farmers in the Upper and Lower Western regions.
The farmers filed the suit against KSB, saying its July 8 directive would disadvantage those with mature sugarcane.
They argued that KSB had arrived at the decision arbitrarily.
