The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) is set to lose its stranglehold of the 69 factories that it manages across the country in far-reaching measures announced by Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya.
The measures, meant to implement reforms issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta in January, will see all earnings from the tea auction being remitted directly to individual factories as opposed to the current practice where the returns are held centrally in KTDA accounts.
