Former Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Margaret Ndung’u has reportedly declined President William Ruto’s ambassadorial nomination.
The CS, in a letter to the Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Foreign Relations on Thursday, January 9, declined her nomination for the High Commissioner job in Ghana, attributing it to personal reasons.
On December 19, last year, Ndung’u was displaced as ICT CS after serving for only three months with William Kabogo named as her replacement.
It was after her demotion from the CS position that the Head of State nominated her for the high commissioner role alongside other former government officials.
President Ruto nominated her for the said job alongside former Sports CS Ababu Namwamba who was nominated as permanent representative of Kenya to the United Nations Environment Programme.
Others who were nominated for various ambassadorial roles included Dorothy Angote who was nominated for the High Commissioner job in Zimbabwe and Andrew Karaja who was nominated as Kenyan ambassador in Brazil.Â
Following her controversial decision, Margaret Ndung’u becomes the second senior official to decline the president’s nomination after former Mungirango Member of Parliament Vincent Mogaka.
