During the vetting process at county hall following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s nomination of professor George Magoha as the new Sports Cabinet Secretary hard tackles were thrown at the legend in defence of his Curriculum Vitae.
He found himself explaining why the Interior secretary Fred Matiangi’ was first in his recommendation on his referees in his CV.
The technical operator defined as a dictator as well clarified that as much as Matiang’i dramatically left the institution, he did not have anything to do with his firing.
He, however, explained that since he was the one who came up with the policy, the firing must have been justified and that it followed the law.
“I as the Vice Chancellor at the University of Nairobi… I was in charge of policy and I gave those under me orders to do everything possible to make sure it was followed by all.
“If you ask me, I may not be aware why Matiang’i was sacked but I know those under me had all the powers to make decisions against anyone who went against the official policy,” he told the vetting committee led by Speaker Justin Muturi.
