Khalwalwe told the outgoing CS that the incident should serve his pride of thinking that he would hold to power for eternity adding that it was all over for him.

“Our dear Dr. Matiangi, remember the many times you teargassed me as I fought for this man to be President? Hahaa, it served your excessive pride to think that the power you welded was for eternity. Sir, it is all over!” Khalwale stated.

Meanwhile among outgoing Cabinet secretaries who attended the meeting at State House were Joe Mucheru, George Magoha, Mutahi Kagwe, Amb. Ukur Yatani, Amb. Amina Mohamed, Raychelle Omamo, Najib Balala, Eugene Wamalwa and Peter Munya.
