@ Njung'e,thanks for the clarification,i think the media has been mixing their facts,I read somewhere that the agreement was with Kengen. Its good they are selling directly to KPLC and obviously getting good returns.
@ Jammo,I have noticed there are some counters that you can't be objective about.
Mumias has been performing well historically and to write them off as another agricultural is shortsighted.
Energy is a problem area in Kenya and anyone who is in it is bound to make good returns,try and read about sugar/cane/energy axis esp. in Brazil,this will give you a clear understanding of the Mumias Sugar potential.
You talk about core business,I talk about maximising returns by diversification.
And finally the at TARDA,mumias will be able to plant their own cane,this will eliminate the cane farmers menace
They have one of the best MD's in Kenya and I like the way he goes about quietly growing the company. He will get the TARDA deal,then we shall see who was right.
I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.
