<h2>Kenya Kwanza bringing Millicent Omanga on board</h2>

Acknowledging that thousands of Kenyans are qualified to serve in both roles that the former nominated Senator has been appointed to, the latest appointment underscores the government’s commitment to bring her on board to contribute to Kenya’s development.

President Ruto appointed Omanga alongside others including Bishop Margaret Wanjiru to the Nairobi Rivers Commission on October 26.

Omanga however declined the appointment while expressing gratitude that the President saw it fit to appoint her to the role.

“I’m deeply honored and grateful to H.E Williams Ruto for the trust you’ve shown in appointing me to serve on the Nairobi Rivers Commission.

"It’s truly a privilege to be considered for such a vital role in improving our beloved Nairobi’s environment and public health.

“I remain committed to supporting efforts aimed at restoring Nairobi’s rivers &amp; stand ready to contribute in any capacity that aligns with my current commitments. Thank you once again for this honor and for the consideration.”&nbsp;Omanga added.

Given the unemployment situation in the country, the appointment left Kenyans marveling at the luck and grace that Millicent Omanga has to land yet another plum appointment to government just two weeks after declining Ruto’s earlier appointment to the Nairobi Rivers Commission.
