Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has assured sugarcane farmers of the revival of Mumias Sugar Company.

Barasa said as an experienced sugarcane farmer, his primary focus is to revive the company that has not been performing at its best.

“As the Governor of Kakamega, my goal is to ensure its resurgence and most importantly to benefit the local communities,” he said.

The Governor who was speaking yesterday after celebrating Holy Mass at St Mary’s Lwanda Catholic church in West Kabras ward, Malava Sub County said he will address matters related to Mumias Sugar Company and the sugar sub-sector.

“It is essential to conduct a candid conversion involving stakeholders and experts. This discussion is scheduled to take place on the 8th of next month at Bhukungu Stadium,” he said.

He said the conference includes other millers and a 14-member sugar-rich lake region economy block (LREB). The conference is expected to iron out challenges facing the sugar industry in Kenya by finding and implementing best management practices. 

Present were MCAs led by the host who is also Minority Leader Mr. David Ndakwa, Chief Officer for Lands among other leaders.
