Shareholders of Mboi Kamiti Farmers Company are facing renewed uncertainty due to contradictory advertisements published in a local newspaper. These competing notices, issued on consecutive days, follow a recent Kiambu High Court ruling that mandated fresh elections to resolve a 15-year leadership dispute.
The Kiambu High Court ordered the registrar of companies to organize fresh elections to end the long-standing conflict affecting the company, establishing a new precedent for leadership resolution.
The first advertisement, published on Tuesday May 5th, was signed by Mr. Thuo Mathenge as chairman, stating: “Pursuant to Judgement in Kiambu Hccc 030 of 2022, notice is hereby given that the AGM of Mboi Kamiti Farmers Company Ltd will be held on Thursday 11th June 2026 at 9am at Mboi Kamiti Twiga Estate Grounds next to Twiga Police Police Post, Ruiru.”
Mr. Thuo further specified in the notice that all shareholders must bring their share certificates to attend the AGM and conduct the day’s business.
Among the items mentioned in the notice were confirmation of members entitled to participate and vote, election of officials and directors according to the law and company’s Articles of Association, and any other properly transacted business.
He additionally stated that any private motions and nominations for director positions should be submitted in writing to the registered offices at Mboi Kamiti Anmer head office by May 31st, 2025.
He concluded the notice by informing members that this was the only legally scheduled meeting.
Before day’s end, another advertisement appeared the following day, Wednesday June 6th, placed by Ben Munyasa, who identified himself as company secretary, reading: “Pursuant to Kiambu order, an AGM of Mboi Kamiti Ltd was held within Kiambu County. I, Ben Munyasya, duly appointed by parties and fully authorized by the registrar of companies, hereby give notice to all shareholders to attend and vote.”
Munyasya further announced that the AGM would take place on May 29th, 2026 at Githunguri Stadium starting at 10.00am, outlining the meeting’s agenda.
He stated that the first agenda item would be reading the notice convening the meeting and the election of directors and company secretary.
He further emphasized that admission would require proper identification through documents, and members wishing to run for director positions must notify the registrar of companies in writing with a copy at least seven days before the AGM.
He concluded by stating that the AGM would comply with all applicable laws, particularly the company’s Articles of Association, with required adherence to proxy rules.”
