Kenyan Sugar Scandal: Ruto Accused of Shady Deal

Kenyan Sugar Industry in Turmoil: Omtatah Accuses Ruto in Nzoia Sugar Deal Kenya's sugar industry is facing renewed scrutiny following accusations of a shady deal involving the transfer of Nzoia Sugar Company to Rai Group. Activist Omtatah has leveled serious allegations against President Ruto, claiming the deal lacks transparency and bypassed a legitimate international tender process. "President Ruto is a sugar baron, and we are going to stop him!" Omtatah declared during a press conference. His statement highlights several points of concern. Firstly, he criticizes the leasing of multiple sugar companies to a single entity, arguing it stifles competition. Secondly, he points to an international tender that was issued but seemingly ignored in the transfer. Thirdly, he questions the lack of transparency in the Minister's statement, which makes no mention of the tender. Omtatah's claims have sparked outrage among Western Kenyan MPs, who are demanding a thorough investigation into the matter. The situation raises concerns about fairness, transparency, and the future of the Kenyan sugar industry.
