Uhuru’s Special Envoy Honored by US University

The University of New Hampshire has bestowed an Honorary Doctorate Degree on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s envoy in New York, Ambassador Martin Kimani.

The Ambassador, who also serves as Kenya’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, delivered the commencement address at the undergraduate ceremonies held over the weekend on Friday, May 20.

In his address, Kimani stated that the world’s crises are largely the result of a lack of proper leadership and urged the University’s 2022 graduates to roll up their sleeves and go change the world.

“What every single one of these crises reflects is a deficit in leadership. Solving every single one of them requires leadership that is intellectually honest enough to not interpret every fact using a flattening, black-white, dogmatic ideology.

“The actions of these leaders have massive consequences for their countries and the world, but they are not the only ones who can destroy…

“The same thinking that gets the world in trouble can be reflected in you who are sitting here for commencement. It can lead you to destroy value in your company which leads to life-altering job losses.

"It can lead to unethical management. It can feed hatred and division in your community. The world is crying out for leaders—at the global and local levels—who can be bold in their actions while being responsible and humble about their limits,” he stated.

Kimani, on the other hand, stated that technological advancements offer hope for changing the status quo.

“Never in human history have we had more wealth, technology and know-how. Every single major challenge our communities, countries and the world are facing can be solved.

"Every one of them is an opportunity for you to make your career and reputation,” he added.

The Ambassador is also President Uhuru Kenyatta’s special envoy for combating violent extremism and the former director of Kenya’s National Counter-Terrorism Centre.

In recent years, the Ambassador has drawn international attention, most notably in mid-February when he boldly chastised Russian President Vladimir Putin for undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Kimani noted at the time that Putin’s decision to recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states was the spark that would ignite a full-fledged conflict between the two nations.
