Leadership wrangles that split farmers and their representatives at Miciimikuru Tea Factory in Tigania, Meru County, have escalated.
This is after a section of the farmers defied a court order and held elections for new directors of one of the oldest factories in Kenya.
The wrangles stemmed from the low bonus declared by the board led by its chairman, Stephen Kathiri, who has dismissed the election.
Kathiri said that there was a court order barring the election.
