Two months after threatening industrial action due to the stoppage of 5 billion shillings, sugar factory workers are set to breathe a sigh of relief. The National Assembly has approved a payment in the supplementary budget\u00a0 to alleviate part of their debt.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

Agriculture PS Paul Rono made this announcement following his visit to Muhoroni Sugar Factory, stating, “We\u2019ve managed to pay three months’ salary for the employees of Inya and have earmarked another three months’ salary for the employees of Sony sugar, Muhoroni, and Chemilil sugar companies. “Rono, who also met with sugarcane farmers, called on the National Assembly to pass the Sugar Bill 2022 to establish policies for regulating the sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Both Senate representatives and members of the National Assembly will meet to resolve these emerging issues so we can expedite this long-overdue matter,” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “In the coming months, our farmers will be very pleased, ensuring a win-win situation for farmers, employees, and all stakeholders in the sub-county.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional measures to revive the sugar sector include suspending import licenses, developing fast-maturing cane varieties, and leasing five public mills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
