Personal Reasons” Lead Millicent Omanga to Refuse Role Offer By Ruto’s
Former nominated Senator Millicent Omanga has declined an appointment by President William Ruto to serve on the Nairobi Rivers Commission. In a gazette notice dated October 25, President Ruto named Omanga as a member of the commission, chaired by former Starehe MP Bishop Margaret Wanjiru.
This commission is tasked with overseeing initiatives aimed at restoring and safeguarding Nairobi’s river ecosystems, which are critical to the city’s environment and public health.
Omanga took to social media shortly after the announcement, expressing gratitude for being considered. She shared, “It’s truly a privilege to be considered for such a vital role in improving our beloved Nairobi’s environment and public health.
After careful consideration, I must respectfully decline the appointment due to personal reasons.”
The former Senator, who ran unsuccessfully for the Nairobi Woman Representative seat in 2022, clarified her commitment to Nairobi’s environmental causes, stating she will continue to support efforts aimed at revitalizing the city’s rivers. Omanga further noted she would contribute to the cause in a way that aligns better with her current commitments, showing her support even outside an official role.
Other notable appointees to the commission include Mumo Musuva, Grace Senewa Mesopirr, John Kioli, Eva Muhia, Amos Chege Mugo, Carlotta Dalago, Rael Chebichii Lelei, Benjamin Langwen, and Charles Karisa Dadu. With their combined expertise, the commission aims to drive lasting improvements to Nairobi’s urban waterways.
