Was a moment of delight and great pride as I checked in with two Athena mentees in Tokyo. Joan and Nina are thriving at professional and personal levels. Keep walking and giving your best to every task… Gods blessing.

Happy International Women’s Day

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

I take this opportunity to congratulate Monica Juma on her appointment as the Executive Director of UNODC and Director General of UN Office in Vienna.

Her stellar performance in the appointments bestowed upon her, with the most recent one being as my National Security Advisor and Secretary to the National Security Council, have been recognised beyond our borders.

Dr Juma has served our country with utmost professionalism and patriotism, given the best to all assignments tasked to her, which in return has earned her a place on the international stage.

I thank Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres for appointing not just a Kenyan but a woman leader and for doing this especially in this month when we celebrate women’s achievements.

Kenya is committed to multilateralism, and we look forward to our continued collaboration with the United Nations.

Hongera Monica for this appointment, and Happy Women’s Day!

[Monica Juma @Monica_Juma_]

I thank His Excellency Antonio Guterres, @antonioguterres the United Nations Secretary General for appointing me as the next Executive Director of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the Director General of UN office in Vienna @UN_Vienna.

I appreciate the Secretary General’s confidence in my ability to steer these two important offices at the Under Secretary General level, at this critical point.

Coming on the eve of the International Women’s Day, this appointment is demonstrative of the UNSG’s belief in women leadership.

I sincerely thank H.E. President William Ruto @WilliamsRuto for the confidence he bestowed upon me in serving him as his, and the first, National Security Advisor of the Republic of Kenya, as Secretary to the National Security Council, and for enabling me to take this global assignment, demonstrating yet again his belief in Kenya making its contribution to the community of nations.

I look forward to serving at this new mandate diligently and flying Kenya’s flag high, to the best of my ability.

Thank You Kenya for preparing me to serve humanity!
