Mudavadi’s Busy Week: 3 Trips as Foreign Affairs CS
Musalia Mudavadi, the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs CS, has embarked on his third international tour in less than a week since assuming his current position.
The latest leg of his diplomatic travels will bring him to Geneva, Switzerland, where he will take part in a high-profile event held in conjunction with the Executive Committee of the High Commissioners Program (ExCom 2023).
Mudavadi’s first diplomatic mission occurred on Thursday, October 5, mere hours after assuming the position of Secretary of State, when he flew to Uganda.
“H.E Dr. Hon Musalia W Mudavadi has departed for Kampala, Uganda this morning for a one-day official visit. During this visit, The Prime Cabinet Secretary will convey a special message to His Excellency President Yoweri Museveni from His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto, outlining a shared vision for deepening the ties between Kenya and Uganda,” a communique from the Prime CS’s office read.
The following day, on October 7, Mudavadi traveled to Rwanda, where he conferred with President Paul Kagame to discuss areas of bilateral cooperation.

“The discussions will primarily focus on strengthening cooperation within the member states of the East African Community, fostering unity, and promoting shared prosperity among the two nations,” Mudavadi said.
Musalia Mudavadi will engage in high-level discussions with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Filippo Grandi, and the US Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, Juliet Noyes, in Geneva.
In addition, he will deliver a keynote address at a high-profile event entitled “Camps to Settlement: Socioeconomic Hubs for Integrated Refugee Inclusion in Kenya.”
“The objective of the high-level meeting is to enable participants to gain an understanding and appreciation of the transformative approaches for refugees inclusion, and their role in promoting just, inclusive, peaceful and prosperous societies,” a statement from Mudavadi’s office read.
President Ruto reshuffled his cabinet on Wednesday, October 4, by naming the Prime CS as the Foreign Affairs CS.
He replaced Alfred Mutua, who was transferred to the Tourism and Wildlife Ministry.
