"content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you sincerely for redefining the dignity of this House as an oversight body comprising of peoples’ representatives of Kenya. When all other bodies and systems do not work, the Kenyan citizenry relies on this House. At the outset, I want to make it clear that this is not a one-party Motion. This Motion is, indeed, about the Kenyan people. It is not a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Motion; it is not an ODM Motion; it is not an Azimio Coalition Motion and it is also not a Kenya Kwanza Motion. It is about the people of Kenya versus one, Hon. Mithika Linturi. It is not a Motion against the people of the Meru community. We have many people from the Meru community who are very good and some of them are seated in this House. This is a Motion that seeks to assist Kenyan farmers who are now not going to harvest because of bad fertilizer; this is a Motion that is going to wipe the tears of Kenyan farmers who are now disjointed and do not know what happens."

Linturi, the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, on mobile number 0722 218 000 made calls to Mr. Devesh of KEL Chemicals on 10th April 2024 at around 9 a.m., directing him to attend to a press conference at Jacaranda Hotel, and confirmed the need for him to use statements as shared with him by Mr. Kimote of the National Cereals and Produce Board, by"

"content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to draw the attention of this House to the fact that a Cabinet Secretary committed a crime. He authorised the distribution of fake fertiliser as it was presented to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. When things started going south, the said Cabinet Secretary sought out KELS Chemical Limited Company to take the fall. He also ordered the CEO of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to issue a press statement admitting liability. This kind of behaviour is wrong and depicts the Cabinet Secretary as someone who is not fit to hold public office. If Hon. Linturi was blameless, why did he prepare a press release through the NCPB, CEO? Why did he force innocent businesses to admit liability on his behalf? This paints a picture of a rogue public servant who is not fit for public office. During the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, senior counsel Mr. Ahmed Nassir submitted a letter on behalf of his client, KELS Chemical Limited Company. Therefore these submissions became part and parcel of this House. In paragraph two of his letter, he indicates that he wrote the letter on behalf of his clients, KELS Chemical Limited Company to set out the factual circumstances surrounding the distribution of the alleged sub- standard fertiliser. I have already tabled the letter marked as Annexure 1. I also invite the House to direct its attention to paragraph two of the letter. It says— “Further to the foregoing, we feel inclined to suggest that as you assess individual responsibility in the light of an overall evaluation of complicity, the conduct and involvement of Mr. Franklin Mithika Linturi, the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, and Mr. Joseph Kimote the Managing Director, NCPB should be scrutinised. Our clients informed us of the attempts by the two public officers to distort the correct account of what transpired and to present a counter-narrative whose end was to incriminate our client through intimidation and threats and to absolve other parties that had been adversely mentioned in the scandal. This occurred on the following dates: (a) On 4th April 2024, Mr. Davesh Patel, the Chief Operating Officer of our client received a call from Mr. Kimote of mobile No. 0721696127 at around 9.45 a.m., informing him of the need to prepare a letter following the press release by the NCPB recalling 3,000 bags of fertiliser manufactured on 5th March 2024 of batched numbers as indicated. (b) Further, Mrs. Lorraine Karani, of NCPB from Mobile No. 0722310564 at around 11.30 a.m. called him asking him to report to NCPB Headquarters around 3.30 p.m. He later received a call from Mr. Collins Nge'tich at around 11.” Hon. Speaker, this not only depicts a Cabinet Secretary who has committed a crime but who is hell-bent on involving other people who were not part of this system. For these reasons, the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development is not fit for office. In paragraph 3 of the letter, Mr. Ahmed Nassir suggests that the Director of Criminal Investigations assesses individual responsibility in light of an overall evaluation of complicity"
