West Kenya Sugar Company has been ordered to pay the family of a motorcyclist who was killed in an accident three years ago Sh11.9 million after holding that the firm's tractor driver caused the accident.

Justice Reuben Nyakundi upheld the decision of an Eldoret magistrate saying it was more likely that because of the extended load on the tractor, the driver did not pay attention to other road users when he collided with Edward Maserabu's motorcycle on August 14, 2020.
