Chairperson Nelson Koech read the letter before the committee as he noted that she is the second nominee to turn down the same offer after former West Mugirango MP Victor Mogaka Kemosi back in April 2024.
“I would like to give my appreciation for the invitation to appear before the Departmental Committee on Defence Intelligent and Foreign Relations on January 10, 2025, at the Parliament building in Nairobi.
Pursuant to Section 16 of the Public Appointment, Parliamentary Approval Act 3 of 2011 I wish to inform you that I will not appear before the said committee at the time and venue specified for the approval hearing.
This has been occasioned by personal and compelling family matters which after taking into consideration will not allow me to take up the position of High Commissioner to Ghana as nominated by President William Ruto on November 19, 2024.
To save the precious time of the important parliamentary business as per the provisions of the act I have forementioned, kindly take note that this letter serves as a notice not to appear. Thank you for your invitation and follow-up.” read the letter.
