What you need to know:

  • In his letter, Mr Kemosi said he does not want to waste the committee's time.
  • The Parliamentary committee is chaired by Belgut MP Nelson Koech.

Former West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi has declined his nomination as Kenya's High Commissioner to Ghana, citing personal reasons.

Mr Kemosi was scheduled to appear before the Defence, Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committee but instead wrote a letter declining the invite.

In his letter, Mr Kemosi said he does not want to waste the committee's time.

Belgut MP Nelson Koech is the chair of the committee.

"I will not appear before the said committee at the time and venue specified for approval hearing. This has been occasioned by personal and compeling family matters which after taking into consideration will not allow me to take up the position of High Commissioner to Ghana as nominated by His Excellency President William Ruto on March 9, 2024," Mr Kemose stated in the letter.

"Therefore, to save precious time for other important parliamentary business, kindly note this letter serves to notify the committee that I will not appear before it," he added.
