Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has announced payment of Sh5.5 billion to tea farmers to be paid as an early bonus.
Mr Linturi also explained that the money being paid out by the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) to farmers is not a loan.
A breakdown of how this profit was realised in the sector, however, was not provided by the CS, who said it will be delivered later.
