A judge has temporarily stopped the election of tea directors which was ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta. Uhuru ordered the election through an executive order on March 12. But on Wednesday, judge Anthony Mrima stopped the election saying another order issued by a court in Mombasa is still in force. The orders, as said, are still in force, and in fact, the Attorney General has taken out contempt of court proceedings against some parties,” he said. Also, the judge noted that some of the issues in the Executive Order are matters before the court which are not yet been determined.
