At least 500 persons will lose jobs as the Kibos Sugar and Allied Industries in Kenya said it is considering to shut down its refinery section due to unfavourable business environment.

KIsumu Governor, Prof Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o paid a visit to the factory to request the management to quash their decision.

This will hamper economic development.
