President William Ruto has made fresh changes to the Foreign Service docket by nominating new Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and Permanent Representatives in Kenya’s missions abroad.
Among the nominees include at least six Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs), whose appointments were revoked by a Nairobi court for being illegal.
These include former Kisumu Senator Fred Outa who has been nominated to be Kenya’s Ambassador to Egypt, and ex-Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi who has been nominated as the country’s High Commissioner to Uganda.
Also nominated is former Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) Director General Ezra Chiloba who has been tapped to be Kenya’s new Consul-General in Los Angeles, USA.
Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Vice President Caroline Kamende Daudi, who just lost out in the presidential race to Faith Odhiambo, also gets a soft landing with a nomination to serve as Kenya’s High Commissioner to Canada.
