Fast forward to July 5th, where Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr took to Twitter with claims that Mutua had been fired by CS Joe Mucheru.

“Ezekiel Mutua unlawfully removed by CS Mucheru as CEO after being lawfully appointed by the Board. Laws are mere suggestions for this administration” reads a tweet from Mutuala.

Mutua Fires Back

However, in a quick rejoinder, Mutua asked Kenyans to ignore the reports that he had been fired saying the claims were being spread by Malicious people.

“My attention has been drawn to reports on social media to the effect that I have been fired as CEO of KFCB. PLEASE IGNORE such malicious rumours. I am not aware of such developments and there can be no grain of truth in them as there's no vacancy in the office of the CEO KFCB” said Ezekiel Mutua in a tweet.
