The Tea Board of Kenya (TBK) has urged the Mombasa County government to waive the Sh7,000 charged per truck ferrying tea to Mombasa. The levy and charges, it noted, were robbing tea farmers of their bonuses.
TBK Chief Executive Willy Mutai said that in every 21,000 kilos being ferried to Mombasa, farmers lose Sh0.5 of their bonus to Mombasa County.
