Kakamega farmers want the enforcement of amendments to the Sugar Act

Sugarcane farmers in Kakamega County are urging swift implementation of the amendments to the Sugar Act to mandate the Sugar Board to penalize millers who fail to invest in cane farming and those that harvest immature crops.Speaking across the county, farmers voiced concerns that such practices could lead to the closure of more mills, as seen last year. Some Kakamega Members of the County Assembly have backed the farmers' call, applauding the new legislation and advocating for its immediate enforcement to protect the region's sugar industry.
