Former NTV journalist Kennedy Murithi has renewed his appeal to President William Ruto, seeking an appointment as Kenya’s High Commissioner to Ghana. In a video shared on March 21, 2025, Murithi noted that the position remains vacant and expressed hope that his credentials would be considered for the role.
He humorously highlighted his ongoing wait for a response, sharing that after reviewing the latest list of government appointments, he noticed that the Ghana ambassadorial post was still unfilled. Murithi had initially expressed interest in the position on January 10, 2025, after former ICT Cabinet Secretary Margaret Ndung’u declined the ambassadorial role. Despite not receiving a response, Murithi remains undeterred in his pursuit.
In his video, Murithi made a light-hearted appeal, saying, “We saw yesterday that you appointed people to various positions. And I, Kennedy Murithi, am still waiting. I went through the entire list and noticed that you have not yet appointed an ambassador to Ghana, which means you are still considering me.” He humorously incorporated the gospel song Unikumbuke, meaning “remember me,” as part of his plea to the president.
Murithi emphasized that young Kenyans are eager to serve their country and noted that President Ruto has appointed many young people to various positions within his administration. “Mr. President, I am making this short video not to put pressure on you but to remind you of my credentials, which I previously submitted through a video, and to reiterate my request to serve as Kenya’s ambassador to Ghana. I am ready, and we, the young people of Kenya, are ready,” Murithi said.
He continued, “We have seen that you have given young people opportunities, please add Kennedy Murithi to your list. Here in Kenya, we are ready to work. And Mr. President, please remember me.”
Murithi’s video is both a sincere request and a humorous reminder to the president, blending his professional qualifications with a playful call for recognition.
