Tensions flared on Tuesday when the director of a firm reportedly involved in the fake fertiliser scandal appeared before a parliamentary team to give his evidence

While National Assembly Committee on Agriculture chairman John Mutunga accused SBL Innovate Manufacturers Limited Director Josiah Kariuki of lying regarding his involvement in the scandal, Kariuki criticized the committee for antagonizing him despite accepting their invitation to clear the air on the matter.
