Devolution CS Mwangi Kiunjuri has said he will not resign over the National Cereals and Produce Board scandal.
According to Kiunjuri, he cannot resign since he was the whistleblower of the scandal.
.Kiunjuri said immediately he was appointed, he made it public that “something wrong” was happening at NCPB.
"I have done my part and I will not allow anybody to intimidate me," Kiunjuri said.
Speaking on Saturday, Kiunjuri said that there is a crop of leaders who think they can intimidate Cabinet Secretaries.
“Those people making noise have been elected to represent the interests of Kenyans who suffer when fertilizer is stolen or when they cannot sell their maize,” he said.
The CS questioned why some politicians have been saying the government is not going after the ‘big fish’ yet the general manager of the board and some management team members have been interdicted.
"We will sack them all. Every community has leaders of integrity that can replace those who want to run down government institutions. They will all be replaced with those who can work," Kiunjuri said.
A section of Members of Parliament had threatened to censure a motion seeking to impeach Kiunjuri over the scandal where a section of traders are said to have imported maize from Uganda and sold it to the board.
In 2015, the then Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru also stated that she was only a whistleblower in the NYS scandal involving Sh1.8 billion.
