Tea farmers are seeking an audience with President Uhuru Kenyatta through former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to have the new tea regulations effected. “The only person who can help farmers is the president as farmers cannot compete with people at KTDA,” Nyakera said. "Farmers will start following up on those behind the depositing of their money in the collapsed banks soon after the Tea Act is implemented and the Tea Board is formed," he said. “Farmers want their directors to withdraw these cases so that they can continue enjoying the benefits of the Tea Act,” he said. They spoke at Chinga community hall in Othaya, Nyeri, on Sunday when Tea Board of Kenya officials held a civic education for farmers on the Tea Act.
