In Kenya, a significant political controversy surrounds Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi, with multiple calls for his resignation over allegations of incompetence and negligence, particularly concerning the supply of fake fertiliser. Key political figures, including MPs Opiyo Wandayi, John Mbadi, Daniel Manduku, and statements from Angel Mbuthia and Kidi Mwaga, have publicly criticized Linturi's handling of his duties at the Ministry of Agriculture. The impeachment motion in Parliament, supported by figures like Mohamed Abdullahi, EAC Youth Ambassador, reflects a broader attempt to hold Linturi accountable for his actions, which are seen as jeopardizing the country's food security.
