KISUMU U REP NYAMUNGA RUBBISHES UHRU MUSAVENI MILK AND SUGAR DEAL

BY OMARI AKELLO

A FIREBRAND lady politician from Nyanza has criticized believed loudly questioned deal between Kenyan President Kenyatta and dictator Ugandan counterpart Musaveni deal that would see both Nations trade on milk and sugar.

President Yoweri Museveni argued that Kenyan exports to Uganda are estimated at $700 million compared to imports worth $180 million. He thanked Uhuru for allowing his country to export sugar to Kenya so as to bridge the trade gap.

However the opposition has termed the move selfish and bad for Kenyan Industries especially the local sugar industries.

Speaking to the press Kisumu County Women representative Rose Nyamunga wondered why Uhuru signed the deal knowing that Western Kenya sugar industries are almost closing down.

 Nyamunga further told Uhuru to explain why he bailed out Mumias Sugar knowing very well that he is going to sign such a suspect deal.
  The iron lady termed the deal as a shocker in its most negative sense adding that Uhuru was simply in Kampala for personal gain and he doesn’t care about the interest of the nation.
Kenyatta family owns Brookside Dairy Limited which controls about 60% of the market share, which is way above that of New KCC.If the deal is implemented then Brookside might be the biggest beneficiary.
Nyamunga called on the Kenyan citizens to wake up and smell the coffee following recent statement by the US President Barrack Obama and Kenyans should rise up against bad leadership.
