Mr Wangusi who has been sent on forced leave. [theinformer.co.keBungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has linked the sending of the Director General Communications Authority Francis Wangusi to politics and tribalism.
Wetangula said there were senior government officials who have done grave mistakes while in office but have been spared because they come from regions of the country deemed “royal”.
“What did he do? That his mistake was he promoted two Luhyas. But what would be wrong with that if they are qaulified?, the Senate Minority leaders said Saturday in Bungoma town.
Wangusi was sent compulsory leave two days ago over allegedly gross misconduct following a decision by the board convened by the chairman Ngene Kariuki.
He is said to have been sent on forced leave pending investigations into what is said to be malpractice in staff training and promotions at the CA.
Wangusi, who has been at loggerheads with Media Owners following the forced migration to digital TV was re-appointed director general for a term of four years in 2015.
He was tasked with putting out several industry fires over the years among them the question of Safaricom's dominant position and the CA's award of a 4G License to Jamii Telecommunications Limited (JTL).
