In all the nine factories, a new set of directors have been elected following the introduction of the Tea Regulations Act of 2020 that was endorsed in the senate and the national assembly.
Kiru Tea factory will hold its elections on April 16, following a notice issued by the company secretary to comply with the law.
Paul Kagema, a chairman at Gacharage tea factory in Kigumo was re-elected unopposed as he has been a pro-change director. Others elected alongside Kagema are Wilfred Gathitu who will serve as the Vice-Chairman of the factory, Daniel Mwangi, Simon Maina, James Kimani, and John Kinyuru.
At Ikumbi tea factory, the new directors who were elected by the farmers a week ago are listed as bona fide officials by the registrar, as the agency put opposition to discredit the government-backed reforms.
