Purity Ngirici fired from government as Kenya Seed Board Chair
Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has directed the immediate removal of Purity Wangui Ngirici as Chairperson of Kenya Seed Company.
In a letter addressed to Kenya Seed Company Managing Director Sammy Chepsiror, Mbadi outlined the legal foundation under which the state corporation operates and its mandate in the agriculture sector.
He referenced governance provisions within the company’s Articles of Association, noting that Article 80 provides for the appointment of directors responsible for managing and overseeing the company’s operations.
Articles 97 and 98, he added, outline the procedure for removal and empower the sponsor to replace or remove a director.
Mbadi then issued a direct instruction for Ngirici’s dismissal, invoking the same provisions.
“In line with the above provisions in the Articles of Association, you are hereby advised to process the immediate removal of Purity Wangui Ngirici as Director and Chairman of the Board as appointed under Article 102 of the Articles of Association,” the letter read.
According to the letter, Mbadi instructs that the removal be effected immediately, with further guidance to follow.

Notably, the move comes just two days after Ngirici publicly aligned herself with the ‘Wantam’ movement and declared her intention to run for Kirinyaga governor in 2027.
Ngirici said she is open to joining parties such as the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), People’s Liberation Party (PLP), Jubilee, or Democratic Party (DP), emphasizing that her decision will be guided by her commitment to the opposition.
She told residents that Kirinyaga voters will make independent political choices and rejected the idea of leaders seeking support through political alignments.
“I will join any of those so long as it is in the opposition,” she said.
