Two prominent lawyers are among the suspects about to face arrest and prosecution in connection to theft at struggling Sony Sugar factory.
According to Migori CID boss Benedict Kigen, the lawyers whose names are still withheld due to the sensitivity of the matter are being sought by detectives over fishy transactions that have led to the theft of millions of shillings in the giant sugar miller.
Mr Kigen said the swoop may also include senior government officials who are said to be behind the transactions once investigations are completed.
"The transactions at Sony Sugar is contained in huge documents and it requires time to unravel the details in the voluminous documents," said Kigen.
The senior detective maintained that once the details have been availed then they will forward the case to the DPP for further legal actions.
"We will not let those involved in the plunder and the sudden collapse at Sony escape justice because it is the farmers who suffer the most," he noted.
He pointed out at various instances in which ghost farmers were represented in court cases by lawyers who in turn received compensations through fraudulent means.
Sony sugar has been crippled by ballooning debts owed to farmers and staff that resulted in numerous industrial actions by a section of staff and farmers.
In April the company's managing director was sent on compulsory leave after he was accused of mismanagement before the government sold the miller of to a private investor.
