Former KICC Board chair Irungu Nyakera now says he was fired for saying that he would not attend Mt Kenya political meetings last week, and for urging leaders to focus on development rather than politics during President William Ruto's tour.
Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, April 9, Nyakera claimed that he had informed officials he would be out of the country pursuing his master's degree.
However, in his absence, he urged leaders to prioritise development in the meetings. "The statement I made that I will not attend the Mt Kenya meetings, despite being away for 10 days pursuing my master's at Oxford University, is what got me fired.
I also urged leaders to discuss developments and not just politics… that is what got me fired," claimed Nyakera.
