A section of local leaders have accused the management of the Mumias Sugar Company of frustrating President William Ruto's directive for the revival and running of a distillery and electricity generation plants.

They also want the investor, Sarbjit Singh Rai (Sarrai), to be held responsible.

The miller under receivership had allowed Jaswant Singh Rai to run the distillery and co-gen plants.

However, a letter dated Monday indicates that the decision had been withdrawn.
