Former Machakos Town MP Victor Munyaka has declined President William Ruto’s appointment as head of the Animal Genetic Resource Centre. In a statement, Munyaka said he would not accept the appointment due to the role due to the current political climate. “However, after soul-searching, extensive consultations and in consideration of the current political climate that threatens the realization of the government's economic transformation agenda, I have made the difficult decision to respectfully decline this appointment,” Munyaka said. He further thanked the President for trusting him to serve the country as the chairman of the Animal Genetic Resource Centre. I wish you and your administration success in leading our country.”Had he accepted the role, Munyaka would have served as the AGRC boss for the next three years.
