The proposed leasing of Nzoia Sugar Company for 30 years by the Government of Kenya has raised serious concerns among stakeholders, especially in Bungoma County. This lease, which includes not only the factory itself but also nuclear farms, houses, machinery, storage yards, a stadium, and learning institutions like Nzoia Primary, Nzoia Girls, and Industrial Primary, is a contentious issue that calls for critical scrutiny. Hon. Majimbo Kalasinga, the MP for Kabuchai Constituency, has stood firm in opposition to this deal, despite facing intimidation and threats. His stance reflects the frustrations of the people of Western Kenya, who see this lease as a direct assault on their economic and social welfare.
