Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has been ranked as the worst-performing minister.
In a report released by TIFA on Thursday, Linturi scored an E of 25 per cent.
According to findings of the poll, Linturi is considered the most responsible for the poor quality (if not “fake”) of subsidized fertiliser, with more than half (53 per cent) of those respondents aware of the programme blaming him.
However, nearly one-fifth of these respondents (17 per cent) are not sure who is mostly to blame.
“Data collection was completed just before the arrest of three senior NCPB officials on the basis of initial EACC investigations; they have now spent two nights in the cells,” Tifa stated.
“It cannot be estimated how, if at all, these results would have changed had this action been taken earlier.”
