CS Ababu Namwamba Speaks on Resigning

Youth Affairs and Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ababu Namwamba has declared that he will not resign from the position despite concerns that he doesn’t have the capacity to optimally run the docket.

Speaking on Wednesday when he was grilled by the National Assembly for reportedly failing in his role as Sports CS, Namwamba insisted that he has been calling the tune at his Ministry ever since he assumed the position in October 2022.

He added that when he got the corner office at the Sports docket, it was in complete shambles but he, alongside other Ministry officials, have gradually been scaling up the department’s operations for the betterment of Kenyan athletes.

“I have not said at all that I am not in control of this Ministry. I am fully in touch and in control of this Ministry but I have made it clear that this is a public institution and it cannot be run as a one-man show. I share responsibilities with my two PSs and technical officers,” said Namwamba.
