Kisumu Governor Professor Anyang' Nyong'o has taken a fresh swipe at the government as he strongly condemned the recent fast-tracking of the leasing process for Chemelil and Muhoroni sugar factories.
In a scathing statement, the county boss expressed outrage over what he described as an 'economic' coup against farmers and the people of western Kenya.
According to Nyong'o, the privatisation process was secretive and also rigged with several other discrepancies, like the exclusion of key stakeholders. "We are dismayed to learn that the planned leasing of Chemelil Sugar Factory and Muhoroni Sugar Factory has been fast-tracked and finalised under a cloak of secrecy," Governor Nyong'o said.
