Kenya’s President William Ruto has nominated the East African Community (EAC) Secretary-General Peter Mathuki as Ambassador to Russia.

The nomination comes at a time when Dr Mathuki, who has been at the EAC since 2021, is facing impeachment over the alleged misappropriation of funds at the secretariat.
