Wanja Michuki, a board member of the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC), has quit.
She is the daughter of John Michuki, a former powerful minister during the Kibaki administration.
Wanja announced her resignation as President William Ruto carried out a purge of Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies from different parastatals.
She said her decision to leave the board was communicated through a letter dated March 2, 2023, and addressed to Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi.
“I write to inform you that I have chosen to resign from the board of directors of AFC for personal reasons, effective immediately. It was an honour to serve on the Board of directors of the corporation. Thank you for the opportunity and I wish the ministry and the corporation all the best,” wrote Ms Michuki.
She explained her reasons on social media.
“I find that our most overlooked agencies are choice and commitment. In my experience, self-mastery comes through the process of self-trust and self-empowerment through choice and commitment to your ideals and values. This process can take decades,” she wrote.
“Self is your higher self, your conscious union with the Creator of All That Is. Self is life-affirming and virtuous. There is nothing more fulfilling than choosing and aligning with yourself. The lifelong follow-through is in your commitment to Self. This is expressed through unconditional love for yourself. It cuts through illusions of status and power. It brings you back to ‘little old me’- your truest and most powerful friend- your inner child.”
She added that she gave the best for the role for the time she worked as a board member and expressed commitment to serving humanity.
