The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has ordered for the arrest of Agriculture Principal Secretary Richard Lesiyampe.
The DPP early on Thursday morning directed the PS be arrested and prosecuted over the irregular purchase of maize by officials of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
Those to be arrested include:
-PS Lesiyampe
-Newton Terer
-Cornel Kiprotich
-Caroline Kipchoge
-Renson Kibet
-Eric Kipketer
-Joseph Kipruto
The PS a few months ago suspended five NCPB managers from Moi’s Bridge, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and Bungoma over the scandal.
NCPB Managing Director Newton Terer resigned in May after Dr Lesiyampe questioned the dealings at the parastatal.

They will be arrested and taken to courts of law. as long as Uhuru has State-Machinery these kale thieves will be shackled with chains and face the law. The only thing that can save/dlay is organizing revolt (or) Revolution all over great Rift Valley to disrupt Uhuru jubilee govt or even bring back secession politics otherwise they will be fua……cked deeep inside their mursut holes behind.

yeah I hope someone will not say that our community is targeted. when he or she consumes the money, he does it alone not community. when he builds a gigantic hotels, purchase new choppers ie 4 choppers in aspan of four years,he pockets them alone not the community. so stop hiding in the name of ua community and face reality. i hope murkomen, oscar, cheryot and others wont complain coz even some citizens from some communities didn’t lament when there fellows were implicated in corruption.
