When the High Court in Nyeri ruled that former Tetu Farmers Cooperative Society workers get paid their salary arrears and other benefits, they were upbeat their 17-year-wait for their cash was over. That was, however, not the case as they are still waiting for their money four years later. The society straddled Tetu and Nyeri town constituencies and its headquarters were at Ruring’u in Nyeri town. The disbandment rendered the staffers jobless, and they effectively started their 20-year journey of claiming their arrears and benefits. The court ordered the commissioner of cooperative and the liquidator to jointly disburse their salaries and terminal benefits of Sh27.7 million.
