A candidate has sued to stop the election of a zonal director at the Kenya Tea Development Agency-managed Kapkoros Tea Factory. Kipngeno Rono was locked out of the race for Ndarawetta zone director because he is allegedly not of good standing in society. Through his lawyer Desmond Leteipa, Rono also wants the resolution of the verification and dispute resolution committee be set aside. She ordered that the three respondents Kapkoros Tea Factory, KTDA management services and the dispute resolution committee chair be served. Currently, the election of the directors in the KTDA-managed factories is weighted on the amount of tea a farmer produces.
