Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri yesterday said he is ready to resign if his dignity is rubbished over the maize scandal.
Responding to MPs at Parliament Buildings, Kiunjuri said he will not accept to be intimidated because he is a family man.
Kiunjuri told the National Assembly’s Agriculture committee his dignity matters to him more than being a Cabinet Secretary.
“If you ask me today whether I need to be a minister or retain my dignity, I will retain my dignity and walk home,” Kiunjuri told the team chaired by Mandera South MP Adan Haji.

He said he was not referring to MPs when he dismissed some people as “busy bodies.”
The CS said malicious people have been making wild allegations against him on social media.
Some have have politicised the maize scandal yet he has already taken action on all the issues raised.
“I will deal with them politically. Anyone who wants to attack my person as Mwangi Kiunjuri, please know that I’m ready to defend myself. Let us not attack people politically,” he said.
He also apologised to the committee for failing to honour invites four times, saying he was engaged. MPs had threatened to have bhim censured if he missed yesterday’s session.
“The last people I would want to disrespect are the MPs because they are the people’s representatives. There are days I’m summoned by the President others by Parliament,” he told the committee.
