Kembi Gitura, former Murang’a Senator, has resigned as Board Chairman of the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) after only eight months due to personal and political conflicts.

• Gitura cited difficulty in holding the position while freely criticizing government policies on governance and corruption, specifically stating he does not support UDA government policies.
• He emphasized that his resignation was not due to issues at KUTRRH, which he lauded as a successful institution reducing the need for Kenyans to seek treatment abroad.
• His decision was driven by a desire to clarify his political stand for the 2027 elections and avoid misleading the public.
