Kakamega Members of County Assembly issue a one week notice for President Uhuru Kenyatta to cancel sugar deal with Uganda.

Kakamega Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have given President Uhuru Kenyatta a one week notice to cancel a sugar trade pact with his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni. 

The ward representatives noted that if the President fails to withdraw the agreement, they will mobilise sugarcane farmers and transport them to State House, Nairobi to camp there until he acts.

 The MCAs who were speaking at a Kisumu hotel also condemned MPs from Nyanza and Western regions for being compromised and sell-outs who are ready to abandon their people for selfish gains.

 "Some of us have been given air tickets by MPs to travel to Nairobi so that we join them and go to State House. We understand that the MPs want us to support the sugar deal by the President. We will not do this as it is betrayal to our people," said Robert Makhanu, the county assembly majority leader. 

He added, "We are appealing to voters to put on notice those MPs who are out to kill the sugar industry. They are the ones who cry loudly that the industry is dying yet behind the farmers' backs, they are going to President for hand-outs."
