Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua yesterday hit out at the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), warning that the government will not sit back and watch as its directors squander farmers earnings.

Speaking at a meeting with the new KTDA directors in Mombasa, the DP said the agency's loss-making subsidiaries must be closed down so that it can concentrate on selling tea and lowering production costs.
