Kiru Tea Factory Chairman Chege Kirundi was re-elected Board member to represent zone three zone.
The BM election convened at Kanyenya ini tea factory saw Kirundi garnering 14 votes against the Chairman at Githambo tea factory Mr Joseph Karanu’s eight votes.
The zone BM election was postponed last week after it emerged that the two directors at Kiru tea factory Eston Gakungu and Martin Ngatia confirmation during the special general meeting failed after a shouting match ensued.
In a twist of events, the former directors Joseph Maina Gathonjia and James Kanyi Wanjohi who had been retained in the board to continue performing duties awaiting confirmation of Gakungu and Kanyi were also blocked from voting.
Kirundi appreciated the directors for re-electing him as he said would serve all to ensure the farmers’ interests are addressed.
Kirundi who has been a crusader for the reforms in the country said he will work towards ensuring the sector was transformed as expected.
“The election is now behind us and now the stakeholders are duty-bound to work for the growers,” said Kirundi.
Kirundi was re-elected a director at the Kiamuturi electoral zone unopposed.
