Luxembourg-based private equity firm is exploring the sale of a Kenyan tea plantation it bought from Unilever last year amid workers’ unrest and sexual harassment claims.

The Financial Times reported that CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII is eying the deal which will see it dispose of the tea estates that Unilever rebranded as Ekaterra and sold to CVC in July last year.
