The CS said that this time round, the government would not just release cash and sit back and watch the same funds go down the drain but would ensure measures were put in place for prudent use to achieve the intended purpose. He said that despite numerous attempts by the Government to bail out a number of companies, Nzoia included, no major strides had been made towards reviving operations adding that instead, they have kept asking for more year in year out. Kiunjuri said that public millers that would not be able to sustain themselves after the final bail out would be closed down arguing that there was no point of operating on paper yet farmers who were the main providers of raw material continued to languish in poverty. He said ineffective boards of management would also be disbanded to pave way for selfless managers willing to serve the farmers with diligence. “The die is cast. All nonperforming State-owned sugar mills will no longer be allowed to operate,” he said announcing that the government had dispatched auditors to verify staff records in Nzoia. He added that the payroll audit would be rid of ghost workers and suppliers before any cash INVITATION TO TENDER NO. TENDER NO.
