Gatundu North MP Elijah Njoroge Kururia has revealed that President William Ruto and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have reached out to Vietnamese authorities regarding the looming execution of a Kenyan national.

Margaret Macharia Nduta is facing the death penalty in Vietnam after she was convicted of smuggling over two kilograms of drugs.

This followed her arrest at Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, which is one of the biggest transport hubs in the Asian nation.

Nduta's plight has since gained nationwide attention in Kenya, with citizens urging the government to intervene to quell her execution.
