A Judge in Scotland, Lord Braid has ordered James Finlay Kenya Ltd (JFK) to stop a case it filed in a Kenyan court to block another suit in the United Kingdom by the Kenyan tea workers. Lord Braid, on Monday ruled that JFK that owns thousands of acres of tea bushes in Kericho County, stops the proceedings in the Employment and Labour Relation Court in Nairobi to allow a case filed by some 1,044 former and current employees in Scotland to continue. RKO Advocates LLP led by Kenyan born British Lawyer Ronald Onyango acts for these clients in the Scottish case alongside Thompsons Solicitors Scotland who complained that harsh and exploitative working conditions on a Scottish-run tea plantation caused them permanent physical and psychological damages.

In the court of session proceedings held via a video link, Lord Braid acknowledged that the lawyers representing the workers had put forward a “strong prima facie case” that the action taken by JFK in Kenya was “vexatious and oppressive.” JFK is an Aberdeen multinational with estates in Kericho which stretch across 10,117 hectares (25,000 acres) and is one of the world’s largest supplier of tea and coffee and includes key high street brands such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, the Co-op, Betty and Taylors and Starbucks in UK among its customers.

The case lodged on 29th September 2021 against James Finlay (Kenya) Ltd for financial compensation and medical rehabilitation of its former and current employees is now set to increase to thousands of other tea workers touching on human rights complaints and conditions akin to modern day slavery. Patrick McGuire, a partner at Thompsons Solicitors which represents the Kenyan workers, said: "This is an extremely important day in the long fight for justice for the Kenyan tea workers”. Ronald Onyango, Managing Partner at RKO Advocates said that ‘there was a need to bring to an end the entrenched oppressive, inhumane and degrading treatment of Kenyan tea workers by multinationals operating in Kenya.”
