Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has broken silence on a disturbing viral video where a woman threatened hospital staff using his name.
In a statement on Thursday January 4, CS Namwamba distanced himself from the lady saying the actions are contrary to his values and commitment to the public service.
“I want to directly address the recent discussions surrounding my name. The actions associated with me do not align with my values or commitment to public service. I unequivocally condemn any behavior against principles of integrity,” the Sports CS stated.
At the same time CS Namwamba assured the public that investigations are underway and decisive actions will be taken to rectify any wrongdoing.
“I am thoroughly investigating these allegations and will take decisive actions to rectify any wrongdoing. My commitment to serving you remains unwavering, and I am dedicated to rebuilding trust through transparency and corrective measures. Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time,” Namwamba added.

In the viral video, the lady in question is captured hurling insults to a female nurse while tossing objects.
The lady at some point threatens to call CS Namwamba if the health workers don’t attend to the emergency she had.
Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) National Sectary General Davji Bhimji Atellah has also condemned the incident and called for the arrest of the woman and the man who was with her.
“This is rudimentary, illegal, and immoral. The attitude and actions of politicians and their cronies to threaten healthcare workers at their place of work should be curtailed. The safety of healthcare workers is threatened in such facilities. The perpetrators of this heinous act should be brought to book urgently,” he stated.
