Fate or coincidence? PS Fatuma Hirsi sacked for second time in a year

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday sacked Broadcasting PS Fatuma Hirsi for the second time in a year.

"In accordance with Article 155 of the Constitution, the appointment of Fatuma Hirsi, as Principal Secretary, has been vacated," the letter stated.

Hirsi was informed that her contract was terminated on June 30.

However, when the President re-organised the Cabinet on July 13, 2018, some of the PSs were reappointed and Hirsi bounced back.
