North Mugirango MP Joash Nyamoko has protested the closure of Kisii bottlers.
The MP said the closure of the company should be blamed on leaders who have been silent allowing the government to close industries and factories in Gusii region.
“I regret that some Gusii leaders who think that they are superior to others have been supporting the government to relocate some factories and industries from Gusii region to other region such as central Kenya and Rift Valley.
"It is time we should wake up as leaders to fight for our rights because closing down factories will render our people jobless,” he said.
He asked Nyamira leaders to move with speed and address the matter rather than going mum for days.
“The two governors from Nyamira and Kisii counties must be at the forefront pushing for the setting up of more factories and industries," he said.
