Tea growers from Gusii want Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya to reconstitute the Tea Regulations Implementation Committee he recently formed. They want the new regulations fully subjected to public participation before they are enforced. According to the farmers, Munya was not genuine in dealing with reforms in the tea sub-sector. Instead, what we are seeing are people moving around, lying to farmers about the regulations whose contents they don't know," Nyakundi said. The growers vowed to petition the National Assembly to challenge the "improper way" in which sub-sector reforms are being handled.
