Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has assured that the planned leasing of Nzoia, Chemilil, Muhoroni, and Sony sugar factories will involve input from farmers and workers.
He also confirmed that their outstanding dues will be paid before the leasing process begins.
In a statement on Wednesday, April 30, Kagwe said the government is committed to ensuring the interests of sugarcane farmers and factory workers are protected during the leasing process.
The move comes amid growing concerns, including threats of legal action by the Kenya Union of Sugarcane Plantation and Allied Workers (KUSPAWU) over unpaid salary arrears.
