Murang'a tea factories have concluded negotiations on the management agreement contracts and selected Kenya Tea Development Agency Management Services (KTDA - MS) as their managing agent.

After two months of negotiations, 80 directors settled on KTDA MS after they agreed to follow the terms and conditions set in the draft agreement formulated by a consultant who collected views from the farmers.
