The African Union (AU) Commission is set to elect a new chairperson in January 2017. As a country, Kenya has a nominee, Ambassador (Dr) Amina Chawahir Mohamed, the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade. For those who are familiar with African Union Agenda 2063, Ambassador (Dr) Amina Mohamed has the right set of credentials to get this job done.
Announcing Kenya’s nomination of Ambassador Mohamed, President Uhuru Kenyatta had this to say, ‘Today, in recognition of our obligation and commitment to support the African agenda, I am proud to offer Dr Amina Mohamed for the position of Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), a position currently held by Her Excellency Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma of South Africa. Dr Amina Mohamed brings extraordinary experience and distinguished service at the national and international levels.’
