Saturday, February 26, 2022 –Mumias Sugar receivers Sarrai Group has been hit in the face again after Kakamega based High Court withdrew a previous order which had allowed it to revive Mumias Sugar Company.
This, according to impeccable sources, was a decision made after the presiding judge learnt that upholding the previous directive would clash with other orders issued by two other courts in Nairobi.
Kakamega’s Justice William Musyoka defended the reverse orders saying his colleagues from Nairobi had updated him over the matter and found it healthy to bar the new managers from continuing with their takeover preparations.
He had earlier allowed the group to start preparations including plans for farming canes. The Ugandan enterprise won a 20-year bid to lease the miller with intentions to breathe life back into it.
The lease, according to documents, was signed on December 22 but started facing transition challenges after it emerged that some interested parties like Tumaz and Tumaz and West Kenya had also placed even better bidding rates of sh 36 billion; way far than Sarrai.
“To avoid the conflict, the order made first in time takes precedence over the latter orders,” the Judge suspended until the matter is fully determined.
Five more farmers led by Lambart Lwanga who had made their applications to be enjoined in the case were also allowed into the case because of vested interests.
On its part, Kakamega County Government represented by Senior Counsel James Orengo protested that Agriculture is a devolved function what is informing their push to see the miller back on track.
Sadly, the whole revival process is majorly affected by local politics and interests.
