Bumula Member of Parliament Jack Wamboka has filed a notice of motion to impeach Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi.

Nairobi —

Wamboka seeks to edge out the embattled CS over his role in approving the procurement and distribution of fake fertilizer under the National Cereals and Produce Board channels. "Agriculture is such a key sector, we want to tell the president, please don't allow one rogue minister to derail your agenda of attaining food security in the country," the Bumula MP stated.

"We want to tell the CS to step aside before we impeach him, even if investigations were to happen, it won't be thorough if he is still in the office, if investigations will find him innocent, he can always come back," she said.There was a problem processing your submission.
