National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi has accused sugar cartels of plotting to take over sugar factories in Nyanza. Wandayi said in the end, these millers will become shells and farmers will be left helpless once they run out of business through dumped imported sugar. The Ugunja MP claimed that the latest targets in this shady business are two sugar factories where the appointment of the receiver manager was abruptly terminated on May 22 under very unclear circumstances. Wandayi called on the county governments in Nyanza and Western to stand up for the people who elected them and protect their dignity and livelihoods. Wandayi said those people are not just in sugar but they have formed companies and moved into gold mining.
