The BBC report put tea farm managers and superiors at the centre of sustained sexual exploitation and abuse.

The DPP asked the IG to present the investigation file to the Office within seven days.

“Accordingly, pursuant to Article 157 (4) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, you are hereby directed to undertake comprehensive investigations into the allegations of rape, sexual assault, compelled or indecent acts, sexual harassment and deliberate transmission of HIV or any other life threatening sexually transmitted disease, as highlighted by the BBC Africa Eye Documentary,” Haji said Wednesday.

Haji noted the allegations against the suspects are contrary to Sections 4, 5, 6, 23(1), and 26 of the Sexual Offences Act, as well as, Section 6(1) of the Kenya Employment Act.

Plantation workers demands

Haji ’s directive came even as the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU) demanded that the James Finlay and Unilever tea companies cease using contractors to outsource labour.

The union instead wants the tea firms to offer direct employment to all contracted employees.

KPAWU which is affiliated to the Central Organization of Trade Unions(COTU) issued the statement days following an explosive BBC expose that uncovered cases of sexual abuse in Kericho tea farms.
