Chipukeezy joined NACADA board as a director in 2018 and served for three years before he silently left the drug enforcement agency.
President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed Chipukeezy to the board of National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA) in 2018, he was promoted to Vice-Chair in 2021.
Chipukeezy however ‘disappeared’ from public scene in 2021, he relocated to US where he has been until recently when he returned.
Many people thought the comedian quit his job at NACADA to seek greener pastures in US. However, speaking on his absence Chipukeezy revealed that he didn’t quit but his 3-year contract lapsed.
“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,” Chipukeezy said.
When asked why it took him this long to announce his NACADA exit, Chipukeezy he didn’t owe the public the debt of announcing his contract expiry.
“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.”
Chipukeezy further thanked President Uhuru Kenyatta for the opportunity he gave him to serve in NACADA board.
“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.
“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. 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.
