The High Court on Thursday ordered the closure of the just re-opened Mumias Sugar Company in a directive that appears to be in conflict with a superior Court of Appeal decision made in May.

Justice Wilfrida Okwany directed Sarrai Group of Uganda to cease all activities at the Kakamega-based factory, saying the lease remains cancelled. The judge rejected attempts by Sarrai to suspend her ruling, pending appeal.
