Speaking during a fundraiser at St.Theresa's Catholic Church in Imenti Central on April 28, Linturi implored Meru residents not to be distracted by what critics are saying about him.
"I am a believer, and I tell people not to be worried. And you know when you are doing well, people start creating other things. Don't be distracted."

He blasted critics who had attacked the Ministry of Agriculture over the fake fertilizer scandal.

He promised to name all the merchants who were behind the controversial fertiliser deal that has messed up hundreds of farmers across the country.
