Four legislators want the government to come clean on the sacking of a top Covid-19 scientist. Lutomiah was fired by Health CS Mutahi Kagwe for allegedly failing to provide Covid-19 sample results on time. Health Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman defended the sacking, saying the decision was made to streamline and improve coordination of test results. Lutomiah was asked to resume his role as a research scientist at the Centre for Virus Research. Chepkut said it was wrong for Kagwe to sack a top researcher for not releasing test results in time for his presser.
