"content": "We made sure that we travelled to all parts of Kenya that are engaged in sugar farming, from Ramisi in Mombasa, Mumias, Busia, Chemelil and Trans Mara. The rallying call was that there is need for a radical surgery in the sugar industry. The sugar industry is ailing. Currently, the situation is cancerous. All public companies like Mumias, Chemelil, Muhoroni and Miwani have collapsed. In fact, the situation was sad when we were in Miwani. The only available asset at that factory is the land, whose issue is emotive. The farmers were saying that if the factory is not able to operate, then that land should be subdivided and shared out among the locals. One of the biggest issues affecting the sugar industry is productivity. Currently, all the factories are closed to allow sugarcane to mature."
