Former Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri has finally broken his silence after he was thrown out of government.
Kiunjuri’s day on Tuesday morning took a turn for ybe worst after President Uhuru Kenyatta pulled the plug on him; making it clear his services were no longer needed in his cabinet.
The tough-talking politician was replaced by immediate former Trade CS Peter Munya.
During a press conference at Serena Hotel, Kiunjuri seemingly fired back and held a strong face, saying the decision to sack him was something that didn’t necessarily come as a shock to him.
In fact, the all-smiles Kiunjuri looked to have taken the new development quite positively.
He asserted that he was relieved with the move claiming that he had endured a torrid time of humiliation as a CS.
The ex-CS reiterated that he gave his best and did not regret his time serving the people of the country.
“The President’s decision has taken me by no surprise, I thank God, I feel relieved. I have endured lots of humiliation, only God and my family know this. I have given my best in my assignment, I leave with my head high,” remarked Kiunjuri.

The GNU Secretary-General noted that he wished Munya all the best as he embarks on the new task.
Kiunjuri pointed out that he will continue serving the citizens in his next capacity.
“I know there is an open door, down the road. I shall remain as I have always been; independent & firm. With my experience of over 25 years, I have a lot to offer & will continue to serve this country faithfully in other capacities.”

Kiunjuri highlighted that he now had time to concentrate on other things. The Tangatanga member insisted that Uhuru was right in executing his duty as the President.
“I now have free time to do other things, I am not going anywhere. The president appointed me without consulting anyone, he has relieved me of my duties, he does not need any consultation.”
The former CS even spared a moment to give his view on the hilarious locust comments that went viral recently.
Mwangi Kiunjuri has clearly read all your locusts jokes after his sacking.
