Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has survived impeachment after the special parliamentary committee determined that the grounds of the impeachment motion were not substantiated.
“The allegations under Ground 1 on gross violation of the constitution, Ground 2 on serious reason for believing that the cabinet secretary has committed a crime under national law and Ground 3 on gross misconduct, as outlined in the special motion, are unsubstantiated,” the committee said in its report to the National Assembly on Monday.
The 11-member committee approved last week investigated allegations raised against the agriculture minister in the impeachment motion sponsored by Bumula MP Jack Wamboka.
MP Wamboka had listed three grounds in the impeachment motion against CS Linturi: gross violation of the Constitution or any other law, serious reasons to believe the CS has committed a crime under national law, as well as gross misconduct.
The allegations surround the procurement and distribution of government-subsidised fertiliser which itself is under probe over concerns it was fake.
