In the past few weeks, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has been having sleepless nights over a Sh2 billion maize scandal that has rocked the ministry.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has been breathing fire and publicly warned Kiunjuri and officials of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) of dire consequences over alleged misappropriation of funds budgeted for maize farmers.
