Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has told Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri to resign before he gets sacked.
Kabogo wrote on Twitter that it was imminent that the 'chief' would catch up with Kiunjuri.
“Bwana Kiunjuri; resign before the chief gets you, it’s imminent that he’ll catch up with you,” Kabogo tweeted.
The former Kiambu Governor has countless times begged President Uhuru Kenyatta for the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission top job.

Kabogo had earlier claimed that it was Kiunjuri who connected corrupt traders to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
He further said that among the "briefcase farmers" who were promptly paid for massive quantities of cheap imported maize were MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto.
Kabogo was responding to a video taken at the Nairobi ASK show on Thursday which captured President Uhuru Kenyatta giving Kiunjuri a piece of his mind.
An angry Uhuru was seen pointing at Kiunjuri shortly after giving a speech attacking NCPB officials over the saga.
NCPB is yet to pay Sh3.5 billion to farmers who delivered maize since last year, leading a section of Jubilee lawmakers to promise to lead anti-government protests.
