Tiaty MP William Kamket has revealed who will be appointed as Agriculture CS if the Kanu Party under the leadership of Baringo Senator Gideon Moi takes over from President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
Speaking when he joined faithful at St Georges ACK, Tachaasis in Moiben Ward on Sunday, Kamket said Moiben MP will be the CS for Agriculture.
“In the coming government, I am in the kitchen planning and Silas Tiren, the MP for Moiben, will be the Agriculture Cabinet Secretary due to his efforts in fighting for the rights of farmers,” said Kamket.
“We have done headhunting as a party and we know Tiren is fit for the position since his politics has always been farmers issues. He is also a leader with a stand,” Kamket added.
He further argued that even if the Jubilee government had denied him a chance to chair the Committee on Agriculture, he will have a chance to serve Kenyans in Gideon Moi’s government.
Tiren, who is serving his second term in office has been vocal in fighting for the rights of farmers. The MP has been advocating for farmers to receive subsidised fertiliser as well as get prompt payment from the National Cereals and Produce Board.
Tiren was elected on a Jubilee Party ticket but his recent association with Gideon Moi has sparked speculation over his allegiance to the party.
