In a tweet on Wednesday, the vocal politician said the offer was made when President Uhuru Kenyatta was forming his cabinet after reelection.

During the 2017 elections, Karua vied for Kirinyaga county governorship but lost to former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Mumbi Waiguru.

During the campaigns, Uhuru promised to give a job to the loser of the poll, since both Waiguru and Karua endorsed and campaigned for his reelection.

The former Justice Minister said the President kept his word regarding the job offer, but noted that he was yet to fulfill an unnamed promise he made to her party.

"May be I should now disclose that I rejected an offer for cabinet post in 2017 after the elections. To that extent the promise was fulfilled to me but promises to Narc-Kenya remain unfulfilled," Karua tweeted.

The former Gichugu MP previously worked as minister during retired President Mwai Kibaki's regime but resigned in 2009 citing frustrations in discharging her duties.

“If my hands are tied and the Judiciary continues to be used as a place where people sacked from parastatals are recycled, the agenda is forestalled and all reforms are annihilated, then I better leave and fight for the rights of ordinary mwananchi,” she said after Kibaki appointed five new High Court judges without consulting her, yet she was the Minister in charge of Justice and Constitutional Affairs.
