MATIANG'I QUITS WORLD BANK JOB IN AMBITIOUS POLITICAL GAMBLE

Former interior cabinet secretary Fred Matiang'i has handed in his official notice of his exit from the world bank, marking the beginning of a comeback to public life including a possible stab at the 2027 presidential race. Dr. matiangi's secretariat yesterday June 5, 2025 confirmed that the former cabinet secretary had handed in a three months' notice to the Bretton Woods institution at the beginning of this month, with his contract terminating in August.
Dr. Matiang'i is however expected back in the country at the the end of this month to resume political mobilisation ahead of an official campaign launch in August. "He has given notice and is serving the final months. He'll be coming home later this month to rebuild, reconnect old networks, and lay the groundwork," said Kitutu Chache South MP, a member of the Team Matiang'i Secretariat.
While speculation about his plans have swirled for months, this is the clearest indication that the former cabinet secretary is prepared to throw his hat in the ring. Political strategists involved in the planning say that Dr. Matiang'i intends to build a broad-based coalition founded on unity, integrity, and development.
