President Ruto fired the board chairs at four sugar mills last week because these factories became private. The lease agreements changed the mills from government property to private businesses for three decades, requiring all officials to leave their jobs. A notice from May 12 named several people who lost their positions. Those leaders came from Chemelil, Nzoia, South Nyanza, and Muhoroni sugar companies.

The agriculture ministry made these changes effective immediately. Many board members lost their jobs across all four factories. UDA party official Silas Jakakimba served in South Nyanza before his removal. The government finished these lease deals last Friday after long delays. Private companies will run each factory under new management.

Kibos Sugar takes control of Chemelil operations. West Kenya handles Nzoia production. Busia Sugar manages Sony facilities. West Valley runs Muhoroni plant activities. These companies signed agreements lasting thirty years. The factories have already started operating under new leadership since the handover.
