The High Court has blocked investigations ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta over alleged abuse of office and economic crimes by Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and its officials, pending determination of a case.
The court further stopped the police, acting under the multi-agency inspection team on agriculture reforms, from raiding or breaking into KTDA Holdings Ltd offices or its associated offices, until the case is determined.
Through an Executive Order on March 12, Mr Kenyatta directed Attorney-General (AG) Kihara Kariuki to conduct an inquiry into the alleged statutory and regulatory compliance breaches allegedly committed by KTDA and its directors.
