For instance, Githunguri Member of Parliament, Honorable Gathoni Wamuchomba, has urged for the arrest of suspects linked to this case.

Similarly, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has also called for the arrest of those involved in this incident, emphasizing that it poses a threat to food security in the country.

In response to Allan Namu, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has labeled the journalist as untrustworthy, urging Kenyans not to heed his words.

During a session on Thursday with the Senate Agriculture Committee, renowned investigative journalist John Allan Namu of Africa Uncensored revealed attempts by influential political figures to suppress a story exposing the fake fertilizer scam.

Namu made sensational claims suggesting that senior officials from key government bodies in both previous and current administrations may have been involved in the scandal, prompting serious concerns about corruption in the country.

Namu disclosed, “I would like to inform this committee that politicians across the political divide might have been involved in this fake fertilizer conspiracy, some even reached out to me seeking to have African Uncensored not to air this story where the majority of those affected are small scale farmers,” highlighting the broad impact of the scandal, especially on small-scale farmers.

Do you think is right for a CS to call a journalist a crook?
