Nairobi county economic planning, finance and strategy adviser Martin Ogindo has been fired over alleged misconduct.
Governor Evans Kidero directed the county secretary Robert Ayisi, to terminate his contract on 30th December 2016.
"Your contract with the Nairobi City County government is hereby terminated with effect from the date on this letter 30th December 2016 on account of violation of the terms of your contract and conflict of interest," read his termination letter.
This comes a day after Ogindo launched his political party, Green Congress of Kenya.
“Ogindo was in gross violation of his contract ... by involving himself in politics as opposed to professionally advising the county,” said Kidero.
In response, Ogindo wrote to Kidero thanking him for the opportunity to serve in Nairobi county government.
