Chebochok's confirmation as KTDA director put on hold by the High Court
John Chebochok was featured in a 2023 BBC documentary titled 'Sex for Work: The True Taste of Our Tea'. Justice Joseph Sergon ruled he did not meet constitutional standards for leadership.
Mr Chebochok is accused of sexual exploitation of workers.
John Chebochok was elected as a director on June 29.
The High Court on Monday suspended the confirmation of John Chebochok as the Ainamoi Zonal Director for the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) managed Tegat/Toror Tea Factory in Kericho County.
This follows a petition filed by six Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) - Usikimye Community Based Organisation, Wangu Kanja Foundation (K) Registered Trustees, Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) Oxfam, The African Gender and Media Initiative Trust (GEM) Registered Trustees and Flone Initiative.
