Charles Kieru Githinji, nominated by President Ruto as Consul-General to Goma, DRC, faced significant opposition from the N.A. Defence and Foreign Relations Committee. The committee rejected his nomination, citing his glaring inexperience and limited knowledge of the jurisdiction. The concerns were amplified by Githinji's limited professional background, previously managing a petrol station, which was highlighted during the committee's review.
