Blow to President Kenyatta as Another Civil Servant Quits

In yet another blow to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration, Kenya’s ambassador to China Sarah Serem has quit the prestigious role.

The former salaries and remuneration head is set to join the Uasin Gishu gubernatorial race which has also attracted politicians Jonathan Bii and Bundotich Buzeki, Kenya’s envoy to Pakistan Julius Bitok, Ngenyilel MCA David Sing’oei, Nairobi Devolution executive Vesca Kangogo, and Soy MP Caleb Kostany. The seat has also attracted  Solomon Kiptarbei who used a bicycle during his campaigns in the last elections where he lost.
