Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi has survived an impeachment attempt related to a fake fertilizer scandal. On May 13, a special sitting of the National Assembly was held to consider the report on Linturi's impeachment. The Select House Committee voted 7 to 4 in favor of Linturi, deciding that the allegations against him were unsubstantiated. Naomi Waqo stated that the allegations included gross violation of the constitution. However, the committee's decision has been marred by claims of corruption, with some MPs and public figures accusing the committee of impropriety.
