Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has urged President William Ruto to dismiss Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi following the fake fertilizer scandal, stating it would demonstrate the government’s commitment to fighting corruption.

Khalwale emphasized the need for action in regards to the delay in taking actions and compensating the farmers as promised.”Let President Ruto prove to Kenyans that he is serious about fighting graft by sacking Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi and arresting those involved in the fake fertilizer scandal.”

He also demanded compensation for affected farmers, stating, “We also demand compensation for every farmer who was swindled out of their hard-earned money by the government officials.”

Meanwhile, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) called on Linturi to address the issue decisively and provide reparations to the affected farmers.
