Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri has come out to respond to claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta's younger brother Muhoho was involved in the sugar scandal.
Aldai MP Cornelly Serem brought up the issue of Muhoho's involvement during a probe into the contraband sugar that is ongoing.
Mr Kiunjuri speaking on Wednesday turned the heat on Mr Serem, vowing to file a protest with the Powers and Privileges Committee over the latter’s move to name Mr Muhoho Kenyatta and his firm, Protech Investment Ltd, as having imported bad sugar.
“You cannot be allowed to go and sit in Parliament and in a crude way, using a village approach, and decide that you want to malign the names of others and get off scot-free,” Mr Kiunjuri said.
“Even if he goes and stands on top of a tree or a mountain and says what he wants to speak, investigations have to go on,” added Mr Kiunjuri.
However, Kiunjuri did not deny the MP’s claim that the company is co-owned by the President’s brother.
“In fact, the company has never imported any type of sugar,” he said.
According to Kiunjuri, Muhoho's company had applied for an importation license but never received any communication.
