Ruto Revokes Appointment of Ex- MP Vincent Mogaka as High Commissioner: President William Ruto has revoked the appointment of former West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi Mogaka as Kenya’s High Representative to Ghana.
The name of Mogaka was included in the list of appointed envoys in Gazette Notice No. 5162 despite rejecting his nomination and failing to show up for nomination.
Vincent Told Parliament,” I wish to inform you that I will not appear before the said Committee at the time and the venue specified for a formal hearing. This has been occasioned by my personal and compelling family matters which after taking into consideration do not allow me to take up the position as the High Commissioner to Ghana as nominated by President on March 9, 2024.
“Therefore to save the precious time of this important Parliamentary business and as per the provision of the Act aforementioned kindly note and this letter serves as notice not to appear,” read part of the letter.
Mogaka’s name was struck from a new gazette notice dated May 3, 2024, announcing the names of appointed High Commissioners, Ambassadors, Permanent Representatives and Consuls-General who will serve in Kenya’s Foreign Missions.
The gazette notice read,” In exercise of the powers conferred by Article 132 (2) (e) of the Constitution, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces appoint (said Names) to be High Commissioners, Ambassadors, Permanent Representatives and Consuls-General in Kenya’s Foreign Mission.”
