KTDA reaches out to MPs over new regulations

What you need to know:

  • KTDA Power Limited is mandated to manage small hydro-powers set up by the tea agency to cut energy cost, which is a major cost in tea processing.
  • Meanwhile, KTDA has asked Agriculture CS Peter Munya to withdraw the recently gazetted eight-member team meant to oversee the implementation of the reforms.

The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) wants the National Assembly to give it a chance to plead its case before the new tea regulations are implemented.

In a sequence of letters, the tea agency has petitioned Parliament, asking to be heard before the discussion and implementation of the reforms.
