Chemelil runs aground as farmers demand Sh210mWorkers at Chemelil Sugar Company demonstrate at Chemelil town over delayed payment. [Collins Oduor/Standard]Operations at Chemelil Sugar Company have been grounded since Wednesday as farmers protested delayed payments.The farmers are demanding Sh210 million. The money is part of a Sh2.7 billion the Government pledged to give cane farmers last year. The farmers who supply the company claim other millers have paid what they owe their cane suppliers. So we stopped cane supply and we will not resume before money is wired to our accounts,” said Mr Bonyo.
