A senior Ministry of Interior official who has been holding two public positions concurrently has been fired from one of them.
John Burugu, who was the Commissioner for Refugee Affairs, was last Tuesday asked to hand over immediately and return to his other position.
Barugu was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta as a member of the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) on June 19, 2020.
However, in March 2023, the then Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, now Deputy President, appointed him as acting Commissioner for Refugee Affairs.
