Kenyan MPs Protest Illegal Handover of Nzoia Sugar Company

Nzoia Sugar Handover Sparks Outrage in Western Kenya Western Kenya is abuzz with anger following the controversial handover of the Nzoia Sugar Company to Rai Company. Members of Parliament from the region have voiced strong objections, citing a lack of transparency and unpaid debts to workers and farmers. The MPs claim the handover is illegal and are planning protests to prevent Rai from taking control. "Am saying NO to this man," declared Majimbo Kalasinga, a local MP, "We are going to organize maandamano on both land and air!" The protests highlight the deep-seated concerns among farmers and workers who fear they will be left without compensation. The MPs have presented evidence of court orders that appear to contradict the handover. They also point to a lack of communication and transparency regarding the process and the payment of outstanding debts. The situation underscores the need for greater accountability and transparency in business dealings involving public assets in Kenya. The MPs' actions signal a determination to fight for the rights of their constituents and ensure a just resolution to this critical issue.
