The government has dropped plans to privatise State-owned sugar firms in the country amid sustained opposition to the proposal by leaders and sugarcane farmers from the sugar-belt region.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said Kenyans and sugarcane farmers were not keen on the privatisation of any of the State-owned sugar firms, hinting the government was now leaning towards a leasing model.
