KTDA Chairman Enos Njeru was re-elected for the second term owing to the impressive performance of the tea industry in the last three years.

 The board re-elected Njeru while Eric Chepkwony was elected his deputy  to serve  for the three year term period.

 Njeru said he was dedicated to taking the sector to new heights through addressing the  unsold teas lying in the warehouses and other issues raised by the 880,000 growers.

“ Am grateful  for being given another three year term  which I will dedicate myself to, supported by the board to serve the growers,” he said.

 The election was held in Mombasa  where the board was undergoing an induction course.

A new chairman at KTDA

James Githinji, Chairman of Ngere Tea Factory in Murang’a, has been elected the new Chairman of KTDA Holding, replacing Enos Njeru. The leadership change comes barely eight months after Njeru was re-elected. Eng. Samson Menjo from the West of Rift region retains his position as Vice Chairman. However, Njeru has disputed the election, describing it as an illegal coup orchestrated by some board members for personal interests. He maintains that his leadership focused on protecting tea farmers' interests and says he leaves office with a clear conscience.
