When Mumias Sugar collapsed, the towns around it (Shibale, Mayoni, Mumias) all collapsed.
People lost direct and indirect jobs that stemmed from the factory.
You should see the hopelessness and abject poverty that have engulfed the people who depended on the factory.
It is a sorry state around there.
They now roast maize, smuggle molasses, and sell river sand to keep their dreams alive.
Schools around there, which were the leading schools in Kenya (Booker, Complex and Central), are now struggling to keep up.
Business premises in those towns have been deserted and are rotting away. If you have travelled along Mumias - Bungoma road, you have seen the decay in those towns.
He who opposes the establishment of an industrial complex under the pretext of climate is an enemy and should be condemned.
When you see opulence and extravagant show of wealth amongst the elites in the midst bitting povert and hunger amongst the majority poor then you know shida iko manyata.
