President William Ruto has affirmed that his administration will neither privatise nor sell any sugar factory as alleged by some politicians and revealed that his administration will inject Sh3 billion to support cane development for farmers in the next financial year.

The President, speaking on Sunday when he attended an interdenominational church service at Approved School Grounds, Kakamega termed foolish and irresponsible claims by some politicians that the Kenya Kwanza government is planning to sell several sugar factories.

“Some leaders are telling the public hot air on issues that are not there. They are saying that our factory will be sold. Let me tell you here in the church that there will be no sale or privatisation of any sugar company,” Ruto said.

He revealed Chemelil, Muhoroni, Sony and Nzoia sugar factories have their certificates with Mumias expected to be processed soon after a ‘small problem of Sh4 billion remaining is sorted out.’

The President said he will not play politics on matters affecting Kenyans.
