Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi is a man staring at a job loss as MPs convene today to debate on his impeachment motion. The troubles facing Linturi stems from an alleged scandal surrounding the quality of fertiliser recently supplied to farmers by the government. According to Wamboka, at least 110 MPs signed the petition to have Linturi removed from office. He said Linturi failed to show professionalism in carrying out his duties and in a manner that maintains his public confidence in the integrity of the office. The CS according to the MP also misled the public by giving false information to the National Assembly Agriculture Committee that the distributed substandard fertiliser was a soil conditioner.
