Over 4,000 employees from four State-owned sugar factories have filed a case in court seeking to stop a planned redundancy and the ongoing privatisation.
The workers drawn from Chemelil, South Nyanza, Muhoroni and Nzoia sugar companies accuse the Ministry of Agriculture of breaching a memorandum of understanding signed on May 7 ahead of the leasing of the mills to private investors.
