Protracted leadership wrangles among Kiru Tea Factory directors appear set to derail its board’s activities. The judge said Githiga’s application for an injunction against the tea factory and its directors was premature and that he should have exhausted internal dispute resolution mechanisms in law. Kirundi suspended Githaiga, saying his continued service as a board director while at the helm of a rival firm amounted to a conflict of interest. The board said Omanga failed to offer proper guidance to the factory on behalf of the KTDA. “So many directors of tea factories countrywide also serve in other companies in the sector and there are no issues in their factories,” he said.
