Tea factory fights to join petition on loan probe
Kiru’s advocate argues the case seeks to halt investigations arising from the company’s own complaint and therefore directly affects its constitutional rights.
Kiru Tea Factory Company Limited has asked the High Court to allow it to join a constitutional petition by Citibank Kenya, which seeks to stop police investigation into the approval and disbursement of a $2.02 million (Sh261 million) loan.
The farmers-owned company, which is managed by the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), says it was excluded from the bank’s court proceedings that halted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) probe into the loan facility.
