The new board of directors at Kiru Tea Factory in Murang’a County convened their first meeting yesterday but got a cold shoulder from the management of the processing unit.

The management of the factory in Mathioya sub-county gave the directors led by Chairman Chege Kirundi a cold reception, denying them writing materials even after the later settled in the board room to start a meeting.
