Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa now wants residents in the county to invest more in sugarcane planting as millers suspend production for the next four months. Barasa said the suspension of milling will have a negative impact on households that depend on sugarcane farming as a source of income. Barasa was speaking when he attended the burial of the late John Wesonga who until his demise, was the second national vice chairman of Kenya National Union of Teachers. Deputy Governor Ayub Savula called on the Kenya Kwanza administration to address the high cost of living by repealing the Finance Act whose suspension has been lifted. The President needs to find alternative funds to construct homes for Kenyans staying in slums,” Savula said.
