Top officials within the Kenya Bureau of Standards and the National Cereals and Produce Board are now on the radar after Members of Parliament called for a special audit on the allegation of fake fertilizer across the country.
"We need to know the batching mechanism for KEBS to ascertain are these people passive that the only give okay to manufacturers and leave it there. Is that the case, if so then we are doomed as Kenyans," said Pokot South MP David Pkosing who chairs the committee. Lawmakers raised concerns that individuals involved took advantage of the loopholes in KEBS distribution chain which exposed farmers to fake fertilizer.
However, MPs raised questions why the culpable individuals in the scandal have not been arrested weeks after the issue was flagged by KEBS. Wandayi poked holes on the assertions by KEBS demanding explanations on how and where the fake fertilizer was morphed up.
