Peter Kenneth calls for the resignation of senior government officials involved in the in fake fertilizer scandal.
On Saturday, April 13, former Gatanga Member of Parliament Peter Kenneth made a comeback to the political scene after an absence of two years.
Speaking at a funeral in the Gatanga Constituency, the former MP demanded that government officials implicated in the fake distribution of fertilizer to resign
Peter Kenneth also warned the national government on the manner in which the doctors’ strike was being handled as well as the issue of overtaxation.
Kenneth who campaigned unsuccessfully for Azimio in the last general election remarked that people in Mt Kenya were suffering as a result of poor government policies.
“We all grew up in this area where Coffee factories were being given genuine fertilisers. If a farmer is being given fake fertiliser and is being taxed when the fertiliser cannot be used for production, it is a disgrace,” he regretted.
“People who are concerned with this fake fertiliser should make a normal call and quit. It is an embarrassment.”

Peter Kenneth noted that President William Ruto’s administration was deceiving subsistence and small-scale farmers with substandard fertiliser.
He explained that it was unfair for Mt Kenya residents to be hurt by unfavourable policies from the government.
“This government was elected overwhelmingly in this area and the bulk of supporters are suffering and it is no longer politics,” he stated.
On the issue of striking medics, Peter Kenneth remarked that it was a matter of humanity where services have to be provided to the people.
He remarked that it was unfortunate that Kenyans were dying as they could not go to public hospitals and could not afford private hospitals.
The Azimio-affiliated politician further advised the government to seek 100 percent compliance instead of expanding the tax base.
