Kembi Gitura resigns as KUTRRH Board Chair over personal, political conflicts » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 27 – Former Murang’a Senator Kembi Gitura has resigned as the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) Board Chairman barely eight months after his appointment.

In his letter of resignation, Gitura cited political and personal conflict that made it difficult for him to hold the position and freely criticize government policies, especially on governance and corruption.

“When I accepted this role, many of my friends and political supporters questioned whether I had shifted my allegiance to UDA. I explained that this was not a political appointment, but optics matter. People still linked me to the government,” he stated.

“For the record, I do not support UDA government policies on virtually all fronts. I do not want to mislead anyone by my actions, words, or deeds. In 2027, every vote will count, and I want my political stand to be clear.”
