No sooner had former Meru Prison boss Daniel M'Ikiugu been awarded the Head of State Commendation (HSC) by the late president Mwai Kibaki than he was kicked out of employment.
M'Ikiugu said he was expecting a promotion due to the presidential award, but he was shocked when ejected as a prison boss. Ikiugu was dismissed from the Kenya Prisons Service shortly after winning the HSC.
