Speaking during a rally at the Bungoma Posta grounds at the weekend, President Kenyatta said it was unacceptable that farmers were still complaining about non-payment yet the Government had given Sh300 million to the miller. He said the use of the funds needed to be investigated before the Government could pump more money into the company. "We gave out Sh300 million to Nzoia Sugar Company to pay farmers but it is still worrying that farmers are complaining that they have not been paid. Nzoia Sugar is not milling and they are not paying our farmers. We ask you on behalf of the farmers to intervene and ensure they are paid," he said.
