The High Court has stopped tea farmers from holding special general meetings for Kimunye, Ndima, Thumaita and Mununga tea factories in Kirinyaga county.

But shareholders at Thumaita and Kimunye tea factories had concluded their meetings and confirmed the directors who were elected during the June 29, election by the time the order by Kerugoya High Court Judge Joe Omido was obtained on Wednesday afternoon.
