Sacked Health PS Josephine Mburu: What you need to know

As the first state appointee in President William Ruto’s administration to lose her job, her sacking may have come as a shocker to the PS who is barely five months in office.

Ruto fired her alongside other officials, a day after he promised to crack the whip on alleged graft in the agency to redeem the government’s image from international donors.

Mburu is now the subject of an investigation into the Sh3.7 billion mosquito net deal at the agency fresh from the Sh7 billion Covid-19 pandemic scandal.
