Hahaa proud of it man

..... Anyway.... Nobody in his right mind can use ethanol to make paints. What the fellows were probably trying to market to your boss is a distillation byproduct called TA {Technical Alcohol}. In the ethanol world, it is a nuisance as it has little use apart in the paint industries. It also poses serious health and environment hazards. In a 75 kilolitre/day ethanol plant like msc's, you are likely to generate approx 600,000 litre of TA in one year. Storage then becomes a challenge not to mention the product is highly flammable. I think by the time MSc approached your boss, they were looking for a safe way to dispose while making some small money. As at now, the price of TA in Kenya may be as little as 5 Bob a litre. Simply put, they were marketing some lubbish.

There was some bet that Mumias Sugar will start production again and @Njunge had said nada, how did it span out?

TA production in Kenya is as young as the first distellery and I think it did not happen until 2013.It also comes in small quantities while it's sale is regulated and monitored by KRA. I do not know the current annual production but its certainly not enough for the paints industry while it's availability is also not guaranteed. In serious sugar/ethanol economies such as Mauritius, Brazil and Guyana, this is the preferred option.

When was the Task Force report ment to be released ? The new financial year has officially began.
