West Mugirango Member of Parliament, Stephen Mogaka has apologised to President William Ruto after former legislator Vincent Mogaka turned down a state job offer.
In a letter dated April 9, the MP expressed his disappointment with Vincent Mogaka's decision to turn down his nomination as Kenyan High Commissioner to Ghana.
According to MP Stephen Mogaka, the declined role held immense responsibility and offered a platform to make meaningful contributions to Kenya’s interests in Ghana.
“I understand that personal circumstances and reasons for declining the appointment may vary. I cannot help but feel uneasy about the implications of this decision,” the MP noted.
While expressing his displeasure by the former lawmaker, MP Stephen Mogaka urged the head of state to consider an alternative able person from West Mugirango Constituency for the same role.
According to the West Mugirango lawmaker, he is the one who urged President Ruto to offer Vincent Kemosi a job which the latter turned down.
“I take the liberty to separately suggest to you your Excellency several Curriculum vitae to consider along with other persons you might be having in mind," MP Stephen Mogaka stated.
"We value your magnanimity and mentorship of young leaders and trust that the conduct of one of our own does not curtail your love for us and your relentless commitment to genuinely change Kenyans' lives."
On Tuesday, April 9, Vincent Kemosi, revealed that he would not be accepting his nomination as Kenya's High Commissioner to Accra, Ghana.
Kemosi wrote to the Clerk of the National Assembly revealing that he was declining the position citing family issues as the reason for turning down the lucrative role.
"I want to give my appreciation for the invitation to appear before the Departmental Committee on Defence Intelligence and Foreign Relations, I wish to inform you that I will not appear before the said Committee for approval," the letter read in part.
"This has been occasioned by my personal and compelling family matters which after taking into consideration will not allow me to take up the position of High Commissioner to Ghana."
