President William Ruto has announced the appointment of High Commissioners, Ambassadors, Permanent Representatives, and Consuls-General who will represent Kenya in various Foreign Missions.
These diplomatic representatives will play crucial roles in advancing Kenya's interests and fostering international relations.
