Defendants in the landmark Sh87 billion constitutional petition filed by Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony against Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and other players in the tea industry have applied for the suit to be transferred to Nairobi.
Chepkwony is seeking Sh87 billion from major tea firms as compensation to small-scale tea farmers whom he claims have been exploited by the industry players for a long time.
