Nzoia Sugar Company managing director Godfrey Wanyonyi alongside six senior managers at the firm were on Monday suspended for abuse of office. The board of directors made the decision despite receiving a court order restraining them from conducting a meeting on the same. Chairman Joash Wamang'oli said the order from Bungoma chief magistrate's court arrived late after the officials had been suspended. He said that they do not recognise the order that sought to stop them from temporarily relieving the managing director and the other six officials. "We cannot allow people who have been implicated in graft to continue serving in senior positions at the company," Wamang'oli said.
