A covert maneuover has emerged, shedding mild on the internal workings of the Kenya Kwanza authorities’s efforts to defend Agriculture Cupboard Secretary Mithika Linturi from impeachment, thereby averting potential shame for the Ruto administration.
This revelation exposes alleged clandestine actions and a meticulously coordinated technique geared toward safeguarding Mr Linturi.
The report by the committee is ready to be tabled within the plenary however sources with the information of the matter say the CS has been absolved from all the fees that had been levelled in opposition to him.
Claims have surfaced indicating that MPs concerned within the investigation could have been influenced with bribes to guard the embattled CS.
Final week, an 11-member committee tasked with probing the impeachment case voted in favour of sparing Mr Linturi, purportedly following directives from State Home.
Seven MPs, predominantly from the ruling regime, endorsed the federal government’s directive, granting Mr Linturi a reprieve after the fertiliser scandal imperiled his public service profession.
Experiences recommend committee members could have been incentivised to vote in opposition to impeachment to defend Mr Linturi, who confronted the prospect of turning into the primary cupboard member in Kenya’s historical past to be impeached.
The movement, spearheaded by Bumula MP Jack Wamboka and backed by 149 MPs, accused Mr Linturi of grave constitutional and authorized transgressions, in addition to gross misconduct.
Mr Wamboka lamented the covert dealings throughout the committee, casting doubt on the integrity of the method.
Initially dismissing reviews of counterfeit fertiliser circulation as media fabrications, Mr Linturi’s stance clashed with President William Ruto’s stern warnings in opposition to fraudulent suppliers, exposing a scarcity of coherence inside high-ranking officers on a matter essential to meals safety.
Agriculture Principal Secretary Paul Ronoh’s choice to briefly halt fertiliser distribution in March added one other layer of complexity, regardless of the Agriculture CS’s insistence that counterfeit fertiliser was non-existent within the nation.
