John Chebochok was elected as a Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) zonal director in Kericho County on Friday despite his candidature having been disputed by several organisations and human rights groups. The others elected in the area for Tegat//Toror factory are - Kemboi Geoffrey Kipkirui (Kapsaos zone), Philiph Kipkoech (Mosop zone), Japeth Chepkwony ( Kapsuser zone), Chepkirui Korir (Sosiot zone), Evans Kiplangat (Waldai zone). The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) zonal directors’ elections administered by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) have turned out to be a chaotic undertaking. In 21 counties, more than 600,000 tea farmers voted to elect new KTDA directors. “We experienced hiccups due to late supply of election material by IEBC,” Mr Chepkwony said.
