What you need to know:

  • The equipment which include heavy duty rollers used as shredders to cut sugar cane into small pieces.
  • Other photographs show heaters used to heat the cane juice during the manufacturing of sugarcane.

There is a fear that operations at Mumias Sugar Company could soon be paralysed after trailers were sighted carrying equipment out of the factory.

This even after President William Ruto announced at Kakamega  State lodge on December 9, 2022 that his government will settle the debt for Mumias Sugar Company and find a new strategic investor to replace the Ugandan firm Sarrai which had controversially won the lease in December 2021.
