Former Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Margaret Nyambura Ndung’u has rejected President William Ruto’s nomination as Kenya’s High Commissioner to Ghana.
The former CS had sent a letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly Samuel Njoroge which explained her decision to decline Ruto’s offer.
Despite expressing gratitude for the opportunity, Nyambura cited personal and family obligations as her reasons for turning down the appointment.
“I would like to give my appreciation for the invitation to appear before the departmental committee on Defence, Intelligence, and Foreign Relations on January 10, 2025. Pursuant to section 6(10) of the Public Appointment Parliamentary Approval Act No.3 of 2011, I wish to inform you that I would not appear before the said committee at the time and venue specified for approval hearing,” the letter read.
“This has been compelled by my personal and family matters which matters taking into consideration would not allow me to take up the position as the High Commissioner to Ghana as nominated by President William Ruto.”
Nyambura was scheduled to appear before the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence, and Foreign Relations on Friday, January 10, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. for her vetting but failed to show up.
