Vincent Mwasya Mutua or Chipukeezy as many have come to know him, finally confirmed that he left his role at the National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA).

The comedian was interviewed by Nairobi News where he revealed the news. His stint at the parastatal had started in 2018 when he was appointed as a Director before he was promoted to Vice-Chair in 2021.

So why did he leave?

“The contract was for three years, and when the three years elapsed, I had no intention of renewing it because before I was offered the opportunity I was deep into showbiz and entertainment. My contract expired six months ago. I’m happy to have been part of the team and this wonderful project. I’m done at NACADA and looking forward to getting back to doing what I love."

The reason he hadn't divulged this information before was that it was nobody’s business.

“It was an engagement between me and his Excellency, and so when the contract ended I communicated that to him. I don’t have to report to social media.”

He was quick to praise the president for giving him the opportunity.

“I was among the youth given a chance to serve in the government as a board director and the President recruited me to represent the young people on the board of NACADA. It was one of the best things I’ve ever had the privilege to do."

Adding,

"I felt like you can only leave one place and go elsewhere to let others also serve. I also felt like I did what I could have done in those three years and so it was time for me to go and do other things. So I didn’t extend my term."
