Wamboka, who has received threats, urged the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, to swiftly approve the motion.
Stressing the necessity of the impeachment to address corruption and expedite compensation for farmers, Wamboka emphasized that it aims to rectify irregularities in the ministry and safeguard farmers from fraudulent fertilizer deals.
Supported by 110 legislators, he underscored the recurrence of scandals in the Ministry of Agriculture, undermining farmers’ trust and hindering government efforts to ensure food security.
