Agriculture and Food Authority(AFA) boss Kello Harsama has tendered his resignation from the government to Peter Munya CS in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Co-operatives.
Harsama’s resignation is in line with an earlier directive by the Head of Public Service, instructing Government and Public Officers vying for political posts to vacate office on or before February 8, 2022.
“I wish to thank the Government of Kenya for offering me an opportunity to serve as a distinguished civil servant for twenty-seven years,” part of his letter read.
He is set to battle it out with four others among them the incumbent Governor Mohamud Ali who is eying the seat for a second term and was recently endorsed by the Borana Council of Elders.
