Western Kenya MPs have snubbed a meeting with president Uhuru Kenyatta at State House to discuss a trade agreement on sugar imports.
They said the western sugar belt would be hard hit by the deal that allows Uganda to import sugar to Kenya.
The more than 10 MPs in the Western Kenya Parliamentary Caucus said they “politely” declined to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta as details of the trade agreement were scanty.
Led by Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba, the lawmakers also said the invitation was not inclusive as leaders from the coast and Nyanza regions were not invited.
