President Uhuru Gives Former Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua Top Job at State House

Former Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua has landed a top job at State House.

Kinuthia lost in the race for Jubilee party ticket to former National Transport and Safety Authority Chairman Lee Kinyanjui, but President Uhuru prevailed upon him to drop the bid to defend his seat on an Independent ticket and promised him a job.

Reports indicate that the former County boss will now be handling President Uhuru Kenyatta’s diary.

The new job comes with heavy responsibility, but given the experience Mbugua has, it will help him in carrying out his new role effectively.

“I’m serving the government and the people of Kenya in a new role,” Mbugua said.

Former Nakuru deputy governor Joseph Rutto confirmed that Kinuthia had landed the job, although he did not give much details on the same.

Kinuthia was spotted at a meeting where President Kenyatta invited Northern Kenya leaders to the State House in Nairobi on Wednesday.

Kinuthia served as Administration Police commandant prior to being elected Nakuru governor in 2013 general elections. He also previously served as a District Commissioner during President Moi's era.

President (Ndugu) Uhuru:

There are 42/43 distinct micro-nations (a word coined by one of our late hero of the second liberation Dr. Wangai Mathaai instead of the stigmatized colonial word "TRIBE") in Kenya. Please consider appointing other micro-nations to key national appointments that you have chosen to ignore and forget. President Barack Obama even gave key national appointments to his political opponents - members of the Republican party!

It is Wangari Maathai. And by the way if Raila took over we all know it would be Bondo this, bondo that, bondo everything. Stop your holier than thou tired ideologies.
Imara are you even Kenyan by the way? You need to come clean. Just seems you read this Moi propaganda, all day long. Some of us have lived it so don't start being all melodramatic about Moi shenanigans. We know the actual facts.

That sounds like a demotion. From a president of a County to handling President Uhuru Kenyatta’s diary. A county is like a small kingdom to working in a call center or switchboard operator

@Lordofpoverty, If you think that is a promotion then go back to std 1. Your parents wasted all that money paying your school fees while you got nothing from school.

Kyuk bashing is easy. Even when the SC has only one and IEBC has none in the decision making level. You can bash all you want but you won't kill their spirit...learn to live and work with them because they are not going anywhere. Kenya ni yetu sisi wote.

@Ndikwenda wana:

Thank you for your post. Do you want me to publicly show you my Kenyan passport? What you are doing to me is exactly what Ndugu Donald Trump did to Barack Obama. He asked Obama to show the American people his birth certificate. Barack obliged. I will not show you my Kenyan birth certificate or my passport! It is not fair or right for you to question my nationality!

The former US president's father is a member of the Luo micro nation. The American people would not have allowed him to appoint the Luo people in key government positions in his administration the way Ndugu Uhuru has done in Kenya. There are enough qualified Luo people who could have filled all cabinet positions in the USA. Barack didn't appoint even a single Luo American in his cabinet.

I will continue to inform my Kenyan brothers and sisters about what our elected servants of the people are doing to our nation. We pay them and the hefty salaries we give them makes them live like kings and queens. We demand fairness and accountability in everything that they say and do. If they can't take constructive criticisms and apply fairness in allocating national resources and national job appointments, they should resign. Kenya does not have shortages in people who can lead the nation in a fair and rational way. I have said this before and I will say it again. At the moment, neither Raila nor Uhuru is fit to be the fair and just president of Kenya.

Hahaha you amuse me. You see in Kenya, passports don't necessarily prove one is a true Kenyan. Usually people are known by the village they come from. If you care cos I don't, you can produce one of your stardard one to seven or eight report cards signed by your class teacher. See!!! This is news to you cos you are a foreigner/ half baked Kenyan claiming to have Kenyan status. Thing is one can smell you out like a rotten egg.
