@obi 1 kanobi: you are very wrong like the politicians in western. sugar production in Kenya is feasible only with comesa safeguards. just compare our cane prices with those elsewhere. Open up to comesa and we will be getting sugar at half the price in the market. Uganda and the other countries can afford production at that price. we cannot without government intervention.

Which country to you live in? Who's your Gavana? You reward thieves, with power. What do you expect? Hii nchi iko na wenyewe.

The cash I've lost on Mumias... wacha tu

That is exactly what I am talking about. Let's identify the problems and stop pretending there is some sort of juju that makes sugar production way cheaper in other countries. And yes, the buck stops with the government - specifically the president. Most of the ills are KNOWN and solvable. We only need political will and things will be sorted out. And not only in the sugar industry!!! Mashida zetu zinajulikana.

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes and taxes
When I was in Dubai I could buy a 1.5Litre water bottle at 1 to 1.5 UAE dirhams (35-40 Kshs)in a desert country but in Nairobi where it rains cats and dogs the water ranges from 40 to 7o Kshs.
Now think about sugar, a 2 KG costs 90 to 100 Kshs in Dubai while in Nairobi it ranges from 180- 300 kshs.
A bag of 50KG cement in Dubai goes from 270 to 320 Kshs while in nairobi it goes for 680 to 750 Kshs.
Just wonder why our politicians have bigger tummies as we feed them like pigs

lets watch for a new low from 1.35 where we left it,it seems shareholders were broke like the company
