The Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings Limited (KTDA) has announced new leadership following the election of a Chairman and Vice Chairman to the board.
In a notice dated March 4, the Agency confirmed that Enos Njeru has been elected as Chairman, while Eng. Samson Mosonik Menjo will now serve as Vice Chairman.
“The Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings Limited Board has elected Mr. Enos Njeru as the Chairman, and Eng. Samson Mosonik Menjo as the Vice Chairman of the Board,” read part of the notice.
KTDA Leadership Transitions
The newly elected leaders take over from Chege Kirundi and Omweno James Ombasa, who previously served as Chair and Vice Chairman. Their exit and replacement mark a significant change in the top leadership, coming at a time when the Agency continues to pursue reforms to improve services for smallholder tea farmers.
The Board has praised the incoming officials for stepping into these roles and acknowledged the work of their predecessors, noting that the outgoing leaders helped steer the Agency through important phases of its development.
“The Board congratulates the newly elected Chairman and Vice Chairman and expresses its sincere appreciation to the outgoing leaders for their dedicated service to the Agency,” stated the company.
KTDA explained that the leadership change is part of its ongoing effort to improve how the organization is managed and how decisions affecting farmers are made.

According to the Agency, strong and transparent leadership is necessary to strengthen governance structures, ensure better accountability, and support long‑term growth across the tea sector.
The Agency added that this transition is also expected to enhance its ability to safeguard farmers’ value by ensuring their produce continues to earn competitive returns, noting that stable leadership plays an important role in keeping Kenyan tea strong in both regional and international markets, especially as the global tea industry becomes more competitive and more affected by market fluctuations.
