Mutua had earlier dismissed claims of his replacement as rumours adding that he was not aware of any such development.
My attention has been drawn to reports on social media to the effect that I have been fired as CEO of KFCB. PLEASE IGNORE such malicious rumours. I am not aware of such developments and there can be no grain of truth in them as there’s no vacancy in the office of the CEO KFCB.

Prior to his appointment, Wambua was the director of Public communication at Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) and will be in acting capacity until a replacement is found.
