Kenya: MPs Want Answers From Linturi in Raging Fake Fertilizer Scandal, Summons Issued

The National Assembly Departmental Committee on Agriculture has extended invitations to Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi and Principal Secretary Paul Rono to testify before the committee next Monday. They are expected to provide insights into how counterfeit fertilizer infiltrated National Cereals and Produce Board stores.

"The key question this committee seeks to answer is how the fake fertilizer managed to reach NCPB stores, particularly if officials were aware of its counterfeit nature," stated Yegon. MPs will also conduct field visits to various NCPB depots nationwide to ascertain the availability, fairness in distribution, pricing, and quality of the fertilizer sold.There was a problem processing your submission.
