West Kenya Sugar Injects Ksh 5.6 B Into Nzoia Sugar Factory Renovation

West Kenya Sugar Company, under new leadership, has officially taken over operations at Nzoia Sugar Factory.

The handover was conducted by the board chair, Alfred Khang’ati, marking a new chapter for the struggling mill. With this milestone, West Kenya Sugar will invest KSh 5.6 billion to rehabilitate and modernize the factory to ensure efficient operations.

Commenting on the milestone, Chairman Rai emphasized that the welfare of workers will be a top priority and pledged close collaboration with the local community to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from the revitalization.

Addressing previous concerns about regulatory compliance, Rai reaffirmed his company’s dedication to operating within the law. He stated that the firm will uphold all legal standards and maintain transparency in its operations.

In addition, the company plans to undertake extensive cane development in the region to support sustained production. Farmers supplying sugarcane to the mill will also benefit from timely payments—a move expected to boost morale and productivity in the sector.
