There are three things that cannot be hidden for long: The sun, the moon, and the truth. Last week, the truth behind the close tie between Mumias Sugar Company Receiver Manager PRV Rao and Devki Group was made public.  Apparently, Rao and Devki of Narendra Raval started transacting businesses long time ago. This became evident during the grilling of Rao about leasing of Mumias by the Standing Committee of Agriculture chaired by Embu senator Njeri Ndwiga “There was a time I was the Receiver Manager of Kwale International Sugar Company I sold machines as scrapes to Devki steel,” Rao told the senators. Rao and Devki are believed to have struck a deal that would have seen the latter take over Mumias Sugar Company.

At the hight of it individuals who pretended to have a farmer's well being at her at mellowed down and ate wi

By Amunga Peter. When ANC PARTY LEADER H.E. Musalia Mudavadi met members of the press early this week he raised genuine questions and concerns that he wanted addressed even as a financier is sought to revive Mumias.

There are concerns that a privateer like *Devki* may not be interested in reviving *Sugarcane* farming in Mumias. He may turn Mumias nuclears for other agro based productions.
