NAIROBI, Kenya, July 17 – The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has appointed Enos Njiru Njeru as its new Chairman as of today.
Njeru succeeds David Ichoho, who resigned last week under unclear circumstances.
“During the recent tea conference held at Kericho, we held thought provoking discussions with passionate stakeholders, who shared their insights and concerns,” Njeru said.
“I am committed to translating the discussions into action, implementing the necessary reforms, and addressing the challenges faced by our tea farmers with the goal of bettering the returns of their hard work,” he added.
Njeru has been a KTDA Holdings Limited board member since July 2021, representing farmers from KTDA Zone Six, which comprises factories in Embu County.
He is a Certified Public Accountant with over 15 years’ experience in finance management.
“In line with our commitment to progress, I will champion a comprehensive tea reforms agenda. Our industry is not immune to change, and we must adapt to remain competitive and sustainable,” the new Chairman stated.
“Embracing innovation, exploring new markets, and diversifying our products will be key in expanding the horizons of the tea sector. Together, we will chart a course that elevates the tea industry to new heights of prosperity.”
