The government has incorporated workers and 14 counties in a committee tasked with overseeing leasing of State-owned sugar factories in what could end a legal row that has stalled the process.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya has appointed Francis Wangara, general-secretary of the Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation and Allied Workers and Abala Wanga, the Lake Region Economic Bloc acting chief executive officer as members of the interim management committee on the leasing of the five State-owned sugar mills.
