A section of tea farmers affiliated to the troubled Kiru Tea Factory have demanded that a special general meeting be held to resolve leadership wrangles.

The farmers from Kihari and Kiamuturi want the factory management to tell them who between two individuals — Stephen Githiga and Chege Kirundi — is legally in office as the chairman.
