Summary​

  • Sources in government confirmed to the Business Daily that Dr Juma, who has been a key figure in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government, had withdrawn her candidature.

Kenyan minister Monica Juma has pulled out of the race for the secretary-general of the 53-nation Commonwealth, suggesting divisions in the club of mainly former British colonies about her candidature.

Sources in government confirmed to the Business Daily that the Energy Cabinet Secretary, who has been a key figure in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government, had withdrawn her candidature.

“Yes…she [Dr Juma] has withdrawn,” one source told the Business Daily.

Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald had earlier in a report published on Saturday said that Kenya had formally communicated Dr Juma’s withdrawal citing lack of adequate backing from Commonwealth countries for Kenya’s bid.

“This week Kenya’s Foreign Ministry said that it had ‘become apparent that some member states of the Commonwealth are uncomfortable and/or unwilling to provide their support for our candidate’,” reported the publication.

“In essence, this means that we have not coalesced consensus among all the member states, a situation that could precipitate a raucous campaign that could further fracture, rather than cohere, the Commonwealth family,” the publication quoted a statement from Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying.

The ministry was quoted as maintaining “that a change of leadership was still needed at the top of the Secretariat and that Juma’s withdrawal would allow time for another candidate to enter the race and build the consensus that the Kenyan candidate could not.”

Elections for the top job are set for June in Kigali, Rwanda.

The Business Daily could not obtain the statement or get additional details from Dr Juma on why she or Kenya abandoned the spirited bid despite repeated phones queries.

Dr Juma had been seen as a strong contender to replace Dominican-born British diplomat and long-serving politician Patricia Janet Scotland.

Ms Scotland is serving as the sixth secretary-general of the Commonwealth.

These people are greedy like hyenas. You could radher start solving home problems instead of vying for top posts that you can't handle. Additionally, Kenya was supposed to make enough consultations with the voting members before proposing a candidate.This botched move come months after Amina Mohammed suffered a humiliating defeat in the hands of the Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

Kenya's Dr Monica Juma quits race for Commonwealth Secretary-General jo



Kenya's Energy Cabinet Secretary Dr. Monica Juma has dropped out of the race for the Commonwealth Secretary-General, a source at the country's Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed to the SABC on Tuesday. While announcing her bid in August last year, Dr. Juma said she would work to boost the unity of the 54- nation grouping, as well modernize its operations. It is not clear what led to the decision to leave the race but just last week, Kenya's foreign affairs ministry sent out a statement indicating that the African Union had thrown its weight behind Dr. Juma. The Commonwealth has in the past operated through consensus and the Caribbean countries have last year warned that Dr. Juma's candidature risked dividing member states.

National Assembly committee rejects nomination of Dr. Monica Juma for Secretary to the Cabinet post



10 June 2015 , The National Assembly’s committee on administration and national security has rejected the nomination of Dr. Monica Juma for the post of Secretary to the Cabinet. The committee ruled that she displayed arrogance and insensitivity in a letter she wrote last year to parliament allegedly barring MPs from her office. This came as another committee endorsed Eugene Wamalwa’s nomination to the cabinet.

Baada ya kumskiliza Malema wiki hii nimegundua huu upuuzi kati ya Tanzania na Kenya hauna tija.
Tuna matatizo makubwa kama Waafrika dhidi ya hawa watu weupe na ukiangalia kwa umakini utagundua kiini cha haya matatizo kati ya waafrika ni wazungu.
Leo hii 2022 tuna kaa hapa ku discuss kuhusu Commonwealth? Watu waliotunyonya na hawajawahi kutuomba msamaha wala kutulipa kwa kututawala na kutuiba for 77 plus years.
