Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi is set to face tough questions over his alleged role in the fake fertiliser saga.
The motion has the backing of some UDA MPs and could easily sail through if President William Ruto fails to intervene for one of his key lieutenants from the Meru region.
The fate of Linturi, facing both an ouster motion and a probe by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, is likely to shake the 21-member Ruto Cabinet
Linturi’s removal is pegged on three grounds, namely, 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 11-member select committee that is considering his removal will conduct a three-day marathon hearing from Wednesday to Friday.
