Kericho Bill seeks to seize tea management role from KTDA

A Kericho Member of County Assembly (MCA) has drafted a Bill, which if successful could see the county become the first in Kenya’s tea growing areas to manage its produce on behalf of tea farmers through to have its own organisation.

In his motion, Seretut ward representative Livingstone Kipkoech proposed the creation of a body to be known as the Kericho Tea Development Board, which he says would manage and organise marketing on behalf of Kericho residents.
