Kakamega: Several injured during confrontation between security and striking sugar mill workers

The security officers had to use force and tear gas to disperse the workers during the Friday incident.

The workers had wanted to forcibly eject their colleagues who chose to go to work, labeling them as traitors. 

The management of the factory, through the communication manager George Muruli, regretted the incident, adding that a permanent solution would be sought to resolve the dispute. 

Activities have been suspended at the factory for three days now.
