CS Linturi Survives Impeachment with 7 of 11 Votes Amid Corruption Claims
May 13, 2024, 02:06 PM
Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi has survived an impeachment attempt over his involvement in a fake fertilizer scandal. The decision came after a special sitting of the National Assembly, where a Select House Committee voted, with seven out of 11 members opting to save Linturi's position. The committee concluded that the allegations were unsubstantiated. However, the clearance of Linturi has sparked accusations of corruption within the parliamentary committee and divided opinions among lawmakers. Some MPs, including Otiende Amollo and Catherine Omanyo, have expressed disapproval of the decision, and allegations of impropriety have been raised by Naomi Waqo, suggesting that the issue might be revisited in future motions as indicated by the Speaker.
