National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has pledged Parliament's support for Kenyan sugarcane farmers, vowing to protect reforms aimed at revitalizing the sugar sector against proposed legislative changes and detrimental sugar imports.

• The Kenya National Federation of Sugarcane Farmers (KNFSF) is opposing amendments that would replace elected grower directors with appointments.
• Speaker Wetang’ula emphasized the importance of electing farmer representatives and warned that excessive sugar imports are a major threat to the industry's recovery.
• Elections for grower representatives to the Kenya Sugar Board are scheduled for September 5, 2026, following consultations with the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development.
