President William Ruto Friday made new changes in 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.
The communication from the Office of the President said the names of the ambassadors have already been submitted to the National Assembly for consideration.
