AMBASSADOR UNITED NATIONS

In the years when the country was fighting some of its hardest international perception challenges in the mid 1990’s his services were called upon again at the United Nations where he returned as Kenya’s Permanent Representative to the UN in 1993. Here, he once again took up the mantle of lead negotiator for the country, driving the national agenda in multilateral negotiations, in the face of the transitioning role of the United Nations from the Cold War era to an undefined new world order highly challenged by intrastate conflicts. Key highlights of his time at the United Nations included securing the election of Kenya to the UN Security Council; serving as the Chairman of the UN Charter Review Committee and also the Chairmanship of the UN General Assembly Committee on Peace Keeping and Decolonization.
