Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, several Members of Parliament and former Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa have been blocked from accessing the Nzoia Sugar Company in Bungoma.  The county chief, who was accompanied by a battery of lawyers and other leaders, was en route to the company when he was blocked by police officers.

Kenyans.co.ke has established that the police mounted roadblocks on the Bungoma-Webuye highway at Matisi Bridge in Bungoma, leading to the company using spikes.

Attempts by the leaders accompanying the county chief, led by lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, proved futile, with the police disregarding their demands for the road to be opened.
