Petitioners challenging the election of John Chebochok as a director of Toror Tea Factory under the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) made their final submissions on Tuesday before the Kericho High Court.

Appearing before Justice Joseph Sergon, the five petitioners-representing various civil society groups and women's rights organisations contended that the respondent is unfit to hold public office due to alleged involvement in sexual exploitation of female workers during his tenure at James Finlay Company.
