Thursday, April 3, 2025 - Former Principal Secretary Irungu Nyakera has made it clear that he is not losing sleep over his sacking as the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) board chair.
President William Ruto revoked his appointment on April 2nd,
2025, replacing him with Samuel Waweru Mwangi for a three-year term.
Nyakera’s ouster coincides with his increasing criticism of
the Government.
However, he downplayed the significance of the role,
pointing out its limited benefits.
“For the bloggers excited that I have ‘lost’ something by
being fired from the KICC board, allow me to educate you,” Nyakera stated on
Thursday, April 3, responding to online chatter.
"Under State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC)
guidelines, a board chair earns a net of KSh 54,000 honorarium per month plus
KSh 7,000 in airtime," he explained.
"Sitting allowance is KSh 14,000 per meeting, capped at
10 meetings a year. No pension, no perks, no executive powers."
Mocking those celebrating his exit, he added: "Most
chairmen are there to serve - not to survive. So blog away, and make your KSh
527 a day."
Nyakera, who previously served as PS in Transport and later
Devolution and Planning, was appointed KICC Chair in May 2023 after a brief
stint as KEMSA Chairperson.
His defiant response suggests he’s already moving on.
