Okiya Omtatah, a prominent figure in the country’s political landscape, is widely recognized not only for his role as the Busia County Senator but also for his longstanding history of keeping judges and magistrates busy with an array of court cases.
Recently, Okiya Omtatah faced a setback when the court dismissed his petition concerning the Finance Bill, triggering a wave of reactions across the nation. Barely a day after this significant ruling, Okiya Omtatah once again made headlines by delivering strong statements during the Western Region Sugar Summit.
As reported by The Standard on their official Telegram page, Okiya Omtatah stirred controversy by openly opposing the idea of zoning in the sugar sector.
According to the Busia County Senator, farmers should retain the right to own land and should be empowered to decide where they sell their raw materials, guided by the contracts they hold with various sugar factories.
