Mutahi Kagwe, while appearing before the National Assembly Health Committee on Tuesday, April 28, claims foul on Dr Joel Lutomiah sacking and term the issue highly politicised
Kagwe claims that the virology doctor was also shocked upon hearing the report that he as been fired.
“I never dismissed anyone. This was a simple matter as the officer was simply transferred from one department to another.
The circumstances under which he was transferred are known to the Chief Executive. This is politics, not management issues. I’ve never seen issues of management making it to the front pages,” Kagwe defended.
The former Nyeri Senator also argued that he respected management of health institutions and had no intentions to micromanage them.
“My work is to offer guidelines. The question of who is going to do what and how is purely the work of the boards,” Kagwe responded.
The CS was under fire after the reports surfaced with the Senate and Parliament weighing in on the issue while demanding answers regarding the dismissal.
