Nyakera Reaps Fruits of Tea Reforms

Incoming Murang’a Governor Irungu Nyakera is a proud man owing to the recent handsome bonus that has made tea farmers smile all the way to the bank.

Mr Nyakera who is vying on a Farmer’s Party ticket could not hide his joy which he attributed to the tireless efforts of the Tea Reforms taskforce which he chaired.

“The tea reform agenda was never in vain. Farmers are jubilating over bonus and full year payments that will only get better as we implement the reform proposals. Thank you to all those who were in the tea fight in particular HE President Uhuru Kenyatta, CS Peter Munya, the Factory Directors and all activists. We have won. Let’s keep winning!,” Mr Nyakera said.
