At the height of the coffee harvest season in October last year, a small group of coffee farmers was robbed of 40 bags of coffee beans valued at Sh1.1 million. In a desperate attempt to recover their crop, their officials sought out a witch doctor who demanded Sh1.5 million consultation to help them.

Nduma Coffee Factory, which is in the heart of Mukurweini Constituency under Ruthaka Coffee Society, is now on the verge of collapse something that locals are at their wits end over. Farmers who deliver their cash crop to the factory claim that the former chairperson introduced a witch after more than 40 bags were stolen from the factory in October last year.
