President Ruto appoints Ida Odinga as Kenya's Permanent Representative to UNEP, and Francis Meja as PSC chairperson for a six-year term, following parliamentary approval.
Ida Odinga’s appointment to UNEP recognises her enduring contributions behind the scenes, not her status as Raila Odinga’s widow.
The committee’s report will now be tabled before the House for debate.
Nature-based Solutions include greening urban areas to reduce heat-island effects, embedding nature into road and energy infrastructure, and producing emissions-negative building materials.
When Paul Muite and James Orengo caught wind of Oneko’s visit, they rushed to Jaramogi who was their FordKenya chair.
The appointment, announced by Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, is intended to crown Ida’s lifetime of advocacy.
