Kenya's committee urges better vetting for ambassadors after several nominees declined roles.

The Kenyan National Assembly's Foreign and Defense Committee has urged the government to improve its vetting process for ambassadorial appointments after several nominees declined their positions. Recommendations include better consultation with candidates and thorough background checks. The committee's call comes after high-profile rejections by Margaret Nyambura and Vincent Kemosi. Despite these issues, three nominees were approved, including Ababu Namwamba for UNEP and Andrew Karanja as Ambassador to Brazil.
