sugarcane farmers in kenya Stories

The Auditor General, Nancy Gathungu, has flagged the write-off of Sh12.4 billion in sugar loans as a major blow to the Commodities Fund.

Once enacted, sugar cane will no longer be classified as a scheduled crop under the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA).

Interior PS Omollo instructed border management committee chairpersons across 27 regions to enforce the new directive.

The government has written off Sh110 billion worth of sugar factory debts accumulated over 40 years.
