New directors in Kisii tea factories are still locked out of office two months after they were elected. The directors accuse their predecessors of working in cahoots with factory unit managers to deny them access. It is a difficult situation when we cannot talk to the factory management and get briefs," said Richard Obino, who was elected chairman of Kiamokama Tea Factory. He said the rights of tea farmers must be respected. Elections were held following the March 12 executive order directing the Tea Board of Kenya to sanction polls in all tea factories.
