The election of   John Chebochok at Tegat/Toror tea factory  as director has been nullified.

Agriculture Principal Secretary Dr Paul Rono says in a letter Chebochok ceased being a KTDA director following the swearing-in of other directors.

 Chebochok, a former James Finlay contractor, was exposed by the BBC in 2023 for allegedly sexually exploiting women.

Action by the PS follows a petition by more than  3,311 people to IEBC to revoke his election as a director at Toror tea factory.

The petition was initiated by Kerry Mwita, just hours after the just concluded Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) election in 54 zones as Chebochok's alleged involvement in the BBC's sex for work scandal as the reason.

A new chairman at KTDA

James Githinji, Chairman of Ngere Tea Factory in Murang’a, has been elected the new Chairman of KTDA Holding, replacing Enos Njeru. The leadership change comes barely eight months after Njeru was re-elected. Eng. Samson Menjo from the West of Rift region retains his position as Vice Chairman. However, Njeru has disputed the election, describing it as an illegal coup orchestrated by some board members for personal interests. He maintains that his leadership focused on protecting tea farmers' interests and says he leaves office with a clear conscience.
