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. However, the deal between Rao and Devki hit a snag due to public outcry that led Devki to withdraw his bid to avoid being subjected to public scrutiny on how he had won the bid. Farmers, political leaders and players in the sugar industry were shocked how Devki ma...

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