  • The reforms in the tea industry are meant to protect small-scale farmers from exploitation, he added.
  • The government accuses KTDA directors of protecting cartels and not having the interest of farmers at heart.
  • Farmers have been calling for an audit of the agency to establish its financial status.

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya has promised an audit of tea factories and measures to save the sector from collapse.
