President William Ruto has dismissed the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC) Chairman, Irungu Nyakera, just seven months after his appointment.

With this revocation, Nyakera becomes yet another Kenya Kwanza principal shown the door, following the dismissal of Justin Muturi just a week earlier. This also comes a week before the Farmers Party's expected decision to quit Kenya Kwanza, citing their ideologies no longer aligning with those of the coalition, making their continued stay untenable.
