Amos Kumunya former lands minister quits politics.
The former boss in the Lands Ministry Amos Kimunya has officially shut down his political career.
Amos Kumunya made the announcement following the Long running graft case that has haunted him for more than 10 years.
Speaking immediately after the court ruling, Kimunya pointed out that the decision marked the end of personal and professional suffering over allegations he claims he did not commit.
“It marks a culmination of 12 years of suffering for something we did not do. We are happy that the long journey has come to an end,
I am free to pursue other pursuits in life, of course not politics anymore,
Kimunya said in light-hearted remarks, noting that his experience in public service had already fulfilled his contribution to the political sphere.
I would like now to mentor the young generation. You might find me in some lecture rooms using my doctorate and knowledge.
I couldn’t do that while appearing in court because students would wonder whether they are being taught by a guilty person or an accused. Now I am free to venture.
We hope it will happen to all other Kenyans seeking justice, where truth will prevail for those suffering” he said.
