More Details:
President Uhuru Kenyatta announced that Muthui Kariuki is no longer the Government Spokesman.
On August 8, 2013, the Office of the Government Spokesman was officially shut down as part of a reorganization aimed at enhancing coherence, clarity, and consistency in government communication. Consequently, Muthui Kariuki was redeployed within the civil service.
The decision to dissolve the office was attributed to its misalignment with the new administrative structure under President Kenyatta’s administration. Manoah Esipisu, the State House Spokesperson, was appointed to lead government communications moving forward.
Muthui Kariuki, who had previously served as a teacher and held a master’s degree in communication, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and looked forward to continuing his work in a new capacity within the government.
