A few weeks ago, the Bungoma–Webuye Highway was blocked as Nzoia Sugar Company workers took to the streets to demand their dues. Today, the question is: HAS ANYTHING BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THEIR PLIGHT? Yesterday, I received so many messages about this, and it is heartbreaking that these workers are still waiting for what is rightfully theirs. Employees who were rendered jobless following Mr. Rai’s takeover are now reportedly being forced out of their houses, yet their dues remain unpaid. Yaani, you lose your job, you are denied your dues, and now you are being thrown out of the very homes you live in? Hii nayo hapana! And then we have WetaNguka and MaDVD bragging about being in government, while Farouk is camping in the region with handouts making leaders from western dance infront of him like they are performing a ritual!! Titmus is busy drafting looong love letter paragraphs to Kasongo!! This is precisely why the plight of Western Kenya’s farmers and workers must remain a national priority. H.E. Edwin Watenya Sifuna has consistently raised the issue of farmers’ unpaid dues in the Senate. Our people (I am Nafula) need more than political rhetoric and handouts. They need answers, action and accountability!! Lipeni hawa watu buana!!
