Five State-owned sugar millers are up for sale again after the High Court dismissed a petition filed by western Kenya political leaders to block the transaction.
Kisumu governor Anyang’ Nyong’o, former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo, the Council of Governors, Migori and Bungoma counties had in the petition claimed the national government has no authority to wade into privatisation of sugar firms because animal and crop husbandry are devolved functions.
