Over 13,000 sugarcane cutters in Mumias Sugar zone will start receiving their pay electronically following a deal between Mumias Sugar Company, Family Bank and mobile phone money transfer service providers.

Acting harvesting and transport manager Mr Franklin Maguge said the firm was considering the possibility of extending the programme to cover other casual workers in the next one month.

He said that by paying them through M-pesa and Zap, beneficiaries would receive their money conveniently and timely compared to the old system where it took several weeks for the payment to be processed manually because of logistics involved.
