In a recent development, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has been ranked as the worst-performing cabinet secretary in Kenya. According to the latest InfoTrak poll released on Monday, Linturi received a low score of 38 percent, which translates to a Grade E rating.
The poll’s findings have sparked discussions and debates across the country, with many questioning the performance of the Agriculture CS in overseeing the crucial agricultural sector. Linturi’s low rating comes at a time when Kenya’s agriculture industry is facing numerous challenges, including food security concerns, climate change impacts, and agricultural productivity issues.
As the lowest-performing cabinet secretary, there are growing calls for Linturi to address the shortcomings identified in the poll and take decisive action to improve the performance of the agriculture sector. Stakeholders and the public are urging the CS to implement reforms, policies, and initiatives that will enhance productivity, support smallholder farmers, and ensure food security for all Kenyans.
Linturi’s rating in the InfoTrak poll underscores the importance of effective leadership and accountability in addressing the complex challenges facing Kenya’s agriculture sector. As the country seeks to achieve its agricultural development goals, it is imperative for leaders like CS Linturi to prioritize the needs of farmers and implement measures that drive sustainable growth and development in the sector.
