Leaders in Western region have petitioned the government to compel sugar companies to pay farmers revised Sh4,040 per tonne of sugarcane.
They also want Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya to enforce regulations that require sugar firms to harvest sugarcane within 22 months.
Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, a host of MCAs and other leaders said the mature crops were going to waste in farms in Kakamega, Bungoma and Busia counties.
“CS Munya gave sugar mills up to April 1 to start paying Sh4,040 per tonne of sugarcane. Sugar mills have been paying the Sh3,700 since 2018, yet farmers incur huge expenses during farming,” said Khalwale. ....

The State had been banking on the lease to turn around the companies and breath life into the western Kenya sugar belt through investments in modern technology and efficient management of the millers. 
The programme, which would see the private firms lease the factories for 20 years, however, run into headwinds when employees of the factories lodged cases in court to stop the process. ....
