Mr Kiunjuri has instead blamed the lobby calling itself Sugar Campaign for Change (Sucam) for the aborted meeting between the ministry-backed taskforce and farmers a fortnight ago. He said the lobby has been frustrating official efforts to resolve issues affecting sugar farmers in the country. “This lobby has been sabotaging efforts of the taskforce and I am not going to engage them,” said Mr Kiunjuri. Saulo Busolo, chairman of Sucam, told the Business Daily that they will present the report to Mr Kiunjuri once they are done with stakeholder engagements. Sucam started its countrywide campaigns last week with a number of meetings lined up in western and coastal Kenya.
