Head of the Government Delivery Service (GDS) Peter Mbae has come out to say he resigned from his job, citing frustrations in the course of his work.
In an interview with NTV, Mbae highlighted persistent challenges that have hindered his ability to fulfil his mandate effectively since his appointment in June 2023.
“It is not possible to do development in a toxic political environment,” he said.
Mbae noted that he had proposed how his team was going to structure delivery in Kenya after discovering there are so many offices and centres doing the same thing.
He said his seniors rejected his proposals, saying it was not possible.
“A lot of what I proposed was not done. In short, there have been a lot of frustrations,” he said.
Mbae said he chose to speak out early so as not to be blamed for failure.
