Africa-Press – Kenya. Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings Limited (KTDA) board has requested the former committee to keep off the factory business.

It said the sector covers the needs of more than 10 million Kenyans and should be treated with care.

In a statement released on Monday, KTDA further assured that it will not condone any political plots to sabotage the tea sector.

“In recognition of the rule of law we request the former board to cease interfering with the running of the factories, KTDA subsidiary companies and KTDA head office as this will interfere with the smooth running of the farmer’s business,” it said.

The remarks come after the former committee led by former chairperson Peter Kanyago, visited the KTDA boardroom earlier in the day.

There have been legal issues concerning the contentious removal of the former board in 2021 and the Tea Act in 2020.

The current board said the matters are yet to be determined by the courts, adding that awaiting the court’s orders, chairperson David Ichoho is in charge.

He is also in charge of the current factory boards for the 54 factory companies.

Ichoho said the former factory directors and the board members are “persona Non Grata” in all KTDA-affiliated facilities.

The board took to assure its customers that it is dedicated to serving them diligently.

“We would like to assure our farmers that the management team and the board are committed to delivering on the business of making tea profitable venture and they should continue plucking their teas and the factories are fully operational,” it said.

It further assured that it will not condone any political plots to sabotage the tea sector.
