Cane Farmers Smile At Last

"My Government today released 1.1 billion shillings to clear all arrears owed to cane farmers in Nyanza region. I announced the funds release at the Sony Sugar Company grounds in Awendo when I presented the company with a KShs 447 Million cheque to clear arrears till June this year, all owed to cane farmers in Migori. Muhoroni and Chemilil sugar cane farmers will also benefit from the KShs 1.1 billion. Payments to cane farmers should be prioritized before other expenditures. I called on the companies to restructure their operations and diversify their production. We have also given out subsidized fertilizer and formulated a programme under which all farmers can access farm inputs." President UK directs.
