Court clears hurdle to coffee reforms
Tuesday February 23 2021
By JOSEPH WANGUI
Summary
The farmers co-operative societies- Rwama, Gitwe, Thirikwa and Iyego- wanted court to declare the new regulations, which propose sweeping reforms, as unconstitutional, null and void. The societies are from Central Kenya.
But justice Weldon Korir faulted them for making general claims on violation of the constitution without citing particular regulations.
They failed to link any particular regulation to a particular provision of the Constitution.
Agriculture cabinet secretary Peter Munya has received a boost in his ongoing efforts to reform the coffee sub-sector after the High Court dismisssed a case filed by four co-operative societies seeking to quash the Crops (Coffee) (General) Regulations 2019.
