The conference, organized by the
African Union, and which will be held at Nairobi's Kenyatta International
Conference Centre (KICC), is aimed at highlighting the crucial role of
fertilizer and soil health in stimulating sustainable pro-poor productivity
growth in African agriculture and agreeing on an African Fertilizer and Soil
Health Action Plan.
Taking on his X, Linturi
revealed that he would be among the speakers at the summit being held between
May 7 and 9.
However, his tweet unsettled
Kenyans who are alive to the fake fertilizer scandal, which has had the CS at
the centre.
Concerned Kenyans wondered about
the significance of Linturi's presence in the fertilizer summit despite the
indictment in his docket.
According to them, Linturi was
mocking the country by intending to be part of the summit in the face of the
saga in his docket.
This comes even as the National
Assembly on Thursday approved a motion to impeach Linturi.
In a vote held in the chambers,
149 Members of Parliament voted in favour of the impeachment motion, while 36
opposed it. Three lawmakers abstained from voting for the motion against CS
Linturi.
CS Linturi is being accused of
gross violations of the provisions of the Constitution or any other law,
committing crimes under national law, and gross misconduct.
The select committee will have
ten days to investigate Linturi and report to the National Assembly.
