As reported by Kenyans.co.ke, the veteran politician, once a staunch supporter of the Kenya Kwanza Government, pulled no punches in his condemnation of those involved in the scandal.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Ngunjiri emphasized the need for accountability and transparency in the distribution of agricultural resources. He stressed that the perpetrators of such fraudulent activities must be held accountable to ensure the integrity of Kenya’s agricultural sector.
Moreover, Ngunjiri hinted at his intention to part ways with the UDA party, citing concerns over its internal strife and alleged manipulation of the upcoming party polls. According to him, joining a different political outfit within the Kenya Kwanza Coalition would offer a respite from the turmoil within UDA and provide a platform to address pressing issues affecting the nation.
