Honored to be named to this year’s #TIME100Next.
The world doesn’t always expect world-class organizations to be built in Africa, especially in school feeding. We’re changing that.
Proud of @Food4Education. And thank you, Trevor Noah, for seeing us. ❤️
For the last three and half years, I have had the honour of a solemn responsibility of serving my motherland as His Excellency President Ruto’s National Security Advisor and Secretary to the National Security Council.
Thank you, Excellency, for entrusting me with this solemn responsibility, and the privilege of walking by your side, parsing the delicate contours of vulnerabilities, risks, threats, as well as opportunities available to our country: crafting strategic responses, and advising on matters upon which the safety of our Republic largely revolved.
As I take my bow, I thank you most sincerely and extend best wishes to you as you continue to steer Kenya forward.
On 11th May 2026, I take up my next appointment as Under Secretary General of the United Nations, in a dual mandate, to serve as the next Executive Director of UNODC and Director General of UNOV, based out of Vienna.
I look forward to the support of my motherland, Kenya as I serve on this global arena
Asante Kenya, kwaheri ya kuonana!
