The Government has been asked to pay Sh500 million to dairy farmers who had shares in the Kenya Co-operative Creameries when it went under in the 1990s.

New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (New KCC) Managing Director Nixon Sigey said payment of the debt will help the processor broker a smooth working relationship with milk producers and enable it to compete favourably.
