@General,
There are negotiations towards that end but the figure is/was grossly exaggerated.
@Duddette,
Tarda is on but no dates were given.The most immediate should be bottled water which is expected to hit our shelves by April 2010,followed by Ethanol plant in June of 2011.Eyes are also on Nzoia and MSC is also considering venturing outside Kenya.......Most likely UG and/or Sudan.
BTW,Cane in Tarda will take as short as 6 Months and not 8 months.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
