Popular Comedian Walter Nyambane fired from government job with immediate effect

Ministry of Foreign Affairs fires popular Walter Mong’are popularly known as Nyambane fired from a government job

In a memo signed by Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei on Wednesday, April 3, Nyambane will no longer hold the position of Director of Programmes (Advocacy and Outreach).

The reason for the termination was, however, not disclosed.

Sing’oei also instructed all director generals and heads of Departments, Divisions, and Units to refrain from interacting with Nyambane in an official capacity.

“This is to inform that Mr. Walter Onchonga Mongáre, Director of Programmes (Advocacy & Outreach) is no longer authorized to act in any capacity on behalf of the State Department or myself,” the memo read in part.

“This is therefore to instruct you to refrain, with immediate effect, from any official interactions and/or engagement with Mr. Mongáre.”

Nyambane is popularly known for his comedic acts, primarily mimicking former President Daniel Moi in the hit show Redykyulass.

He also ventured into politics when he announced his presidential bid in the August 2022 General Election under the Umoja Summit Party.

He was the first candidate to be cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on May 30, 2022.

A month later, the commission, however, revoked his nomination certificate after he failed to honour the summons over his academic qualifications.
