A member of the Kenya Tea Development Agency board suffered a major blow after the High Court in Nairobi nullified his election as a director at Chinga Tea Factory in Othaya.

The court ruled that Arthur Mukira had not met the necessary education qualification for the position.

Lady Justice Roselylene Aburili also dismissed a case filed by Mr Mukira challenging a decision by the agency to bar him from contesting as one of its directors at Chinga Tea Factory.
