Former State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena Mararo on Monday, June 10, 2024, refuted claims that retired President Uhuru Kenyatta enjoys a fully furnished and maintained office space.
Addressing the press, Dena said that the former president identified his own office space, fully furnished and equipped it.
“The statement that the third retired president enjoys a fully furnished office provided by the government is incorrect to date the office matter has never been resolved or addressed,” Dena said.
“Uhuru is not enjoying a fully furnished and maintained office space as alluded to by spokesperson Isaac Mwaura. With no commitment from the government to finalize on the issue of the office space, His Excellency the former President identified an office space and went ahead to fully furnish and equip it from his pocket.”
She says the office of the retired president runs under the goodwill of Uhuru as they await office statements from the Statehouse after they wrote a formal letter to the government.
“A formal letter was written to the state house requesting the evaluation of his office that was identified by former president Kenyatta as suitable for him to carry out his duties,” she revealed.
“However, the office did not receive a response on the issue and instead, the communication the office received was via text message by then-in-charge George Makumi, and in his statement, he indicated the estimate of the property in question that was selected by the former president to date this office runs under the goodwill of the former president as it waits upon action from the State House.”
