National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang'ula has approved a motion seeking to impeach Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi.
Wetangula said the motion by Bumula MP Jack Wanami meets the threshold for admission to the house
"The motion meets the appropriate requirements for it to be admitted to the next step," the speaker said.
Wanami in his motion accuses Linturi of gross violation of the constitution.
His bid is in relation to the procurement and distribution of fake fertiliser.
Wanami will now be seeking the formation of a special committee to probe allegations against the CS.
The sale of alleged fake fertiliser to farmers took a twist in Parliament last week after at least 110 MPs signed a motion to impeach CS Linturi.
The motion is seconded by Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere.
The Bumula MP urged his colleagues to support his motion once it is approved by the Speaker.
He pledged to not be compromised, disclosing that he has been receiving emissaries to drop the impeachment bid since he started.
“We are awaiting approval so it goes to the House Business Committee. We are looking at either Tuesday or Wednesday next week and we are done with Linturi,” Wanami stated.
“We have enough grounds to impeach Linturi. This is a moral question, there is no Azimio or Kenya Kwanza. We have no problem with the President.”
