Received the credentials of H.E. Dr. Garry Conille, Resident Coordinator Designate of the United Nations in Kenya, at Railways Headquarters and congratulated him on his appointment to lead the UN system’s development operations in the country. He assumes this role at a pivotal moment as Nairobi, the only UN headquarters duty station in the Global South, continues to expand its role as a global hub for multilateral engagement. I also appreciated the service of his predecessor, Dr. Stephen Jackson, for his contribution to Kenya and wished Dr. Conille success as he takes on this important mandate. With his extensive experience in governance and multilateral leadership, he brings strong capacity to deepen UN–Kenya cooperation. I reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to support the @UN Office at Nairobi and the wider UN system, while encouraging continued collaboration through platforms such as the Development Partnership Forum, which aligns support to key sectors including agriculture, energy, infrastructure, housing and climate action. Together, we will continue to strengthen partnerships that drive Kenya’s transformation into a competitive and resilient economy.
