The National Assembly has called on Kenyans to offer comments on President William Ruto's ambassadorial appointments that include former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha.  In a notice on Friday, March 28, Parliament invited Kenyans to provide any reasons why Ruto's picks should not be approved.  President Ruto, a week ago, appointed Nakhumicha as the Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission of Kenya to the United Nations Habitat in Nairobi.

Ruto also tapped former Principal Secretary (PS) for the State Department for Sports, Peter Tum, as the Consul-General in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo; James Muhati as Ambassador to Guangzhou, People's Republic of China; and Abdi Dubat Fidhow as Kenya's Ambassador to the United Republic of Tanzania.
