President William Ruto nominated Susan Nakhumicha as Kenya’s UN envoy following her dismissal as Health CS amid public outcry. Nakhumicha reflects on her challenges in office and looks forward to new opportunities after a difficult tenure.
The recent nomination of former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha as Kenya’s Permanent Representative to UN-Habitat marks a significant shift after her tumultuous tenure at Afya House. Appointed by President William Ruto, she replaces Grace Okara, who held the position for merely seven months. Nakhumicha’s abrupt dismissal on July 11, 2024, was part of a broader reshuffle that also affected several other officials, ignited by public protest during Gen Z demonstrations against government policies.
In conclusion, Susan Nakhumicha’s appointment as Kenya’s UN envoy represents both a new opportunity and a marked transition from her previous challenges as Health CS. Her optimism for the future and acknowledgment of past regrets highlight her resilience as she embarks on this next chapter in diplomatic service.
