Members of Parliament from the West of Rift tea-growing region have decried a drop in bonuses recorded this year and called out the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) over its alleged inefficiency.

The MPs, led by Konoin legislator Brighton Yegon, accused KTDA Management Services of failing to control rising costs of production, including inflated firewood procurement and staff expenses, and said they will table a motion to establish an ad hoc committee.
