Bumula MP Jack Wamboka has told a Parliamentary committee there is sufficient reason to believe Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi committed a crime.
Wamboka, who sponsored an impeachment motion to remove Linturi from office, cited several incidences to demonstrate to MPs that the CS broke the law.
He said the Fertiliser and Animal Foodstuffs Board of Kenya should have been the entity that procured subsidised fertiliser and not the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
The fertiliser board and not NCPB should be in charge of procuring subsidised fertiliser. What was so difficult for the CS to appoint this board,” he posed.
Bumula MP was making submissions to the Select Committee on the Proposed Dismissal of Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Mithika Linturi.
Wamboka further faulted the CS for closing down the factory which was alleged to be involved in the manufacturing of fake fertiliser.
Linturi announced that the company’s license had been revoked pending further investigations into the distribution of counterfeit fertiliser to farmers.
