Rigathi Gachagua: Russian Donated Fertilizer Was Sold to Kenyan Government by Private Firms

Former DP Rigathi Gachagua has disclosed that a consignment of fertilizer donated to Kenya by Russia was handed over to private companies, repackaged, and later sold back to the government at prevailing commercial prices.

According to the former DP, the fertilizer was not distributed freely to farmers as initially expected.Instead, he alleged that the shipment was allocated to Maisha Millers and Devki Group, who processed and resold it to the government.

“Fertilizer donated by Russia was given to Maisha millers and Devki, blended and sold to government at market rate,” Gachagua stated.

Gachagua, who spoke during an interview with KTN, stated that the corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture was orchestrated by State House, and that the President wanted to frame Mithika Linturi for the fake fertilizer scandal
