"I will not allow these BOCO Directors to play around with Sugarcane farmers because that Company belongs to farmers and not a few individuals. During the meeting of 12th June 2025 we all agreed that registration shall be open to all cane farmers at no cost but they have now issued a Notice for Elections recquiring each farmer to buy a minimum of 200 shares at Ksh5 each meaning each must part with Ksh1000. Therefore, I want to call upon all cane farmers to walk to the nearest Chief's office with any document to show that one is a cane farmer and register. In this regard, we should first have a farmers register in place then constitute an Elections Board before issuing Notice for Elections hence, the Notice as it is is null and void and it must be ignored".
