Dairy farmers want former politician Matu Wamae removed as chairman of the New Kenya Co-operatives Creameries on grounds that he is too old to lead the parastatal.

In the suit filed through MMC Africa Advocates, the farmers from Murang'a County also claimed Mr Wamae had irregularly sat at the helm of New KCC Ltd for more than 12 years despite Government guidelines that he should serve for a maximum of six years.
