Thursday, February 5, 2026 - John Chebochok, a senior official within the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA), has resurfaced in the public spotlight after he was photographed attending a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) event at State House, despite previously facing serious allegations highlighted in a BBC investigation.

Chebochok first drew national and international attention after a BBC exposé linked him to allegations of taking advantage of female workers in Kenya’s tea sector.

The investigative broadcast featured testimonies from victims, as well as undercover footage that implicated him as a key perpetrator in the misconduct.

Despite the revelations and public outcry that followed, Chebochok was later elected director of Toror Tea Factory, a factory under the Kenya Tea Development Authority, sparking criticism from activists and stakeholders who had called for his removal.

His recent appearance at State House, where President William Ruto hosted 12,353 UDA aspirants, has once again raised questions, particularly as he continues to face scrutiny over the allegations.
