Mr. Ogallo’s sacking follows the recent jailbreak at Kamiti maximum security prison that saw three terror convicts escape.
Queries have arisen over how they managed to escape from the country’s most secure prison on Monday.
Before announcing his sacking, President Kenyatta on Wednesday held a crisis meeting at State House with top Interior ministry officials and Prisons chiefs over the jailbreak.
