President William Ruto has appointed former headteacher Frank Kibelekenya as Kenya’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark.
Kibelekenya is a former headteacher of Model Primary School at Maasai Mara University and also served as chairman of the Kenya Primary Schools Head Teachers Association (KPSHTA) for the Narok North Chapter.
After leaving teaching, he was appointed Coordinator at the National Land Commission in Nakuru, where he oversaw key land management and policy initiatives.
The announcement was part of a sweeping diplomatic reshuffle approved by the President, aimed at strengthening Kenya’s foreign relations and expanding its diplomatic footprint to 72 countries and territories.
The official release, signed by Felix Koskei, Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service, confirmed that Kibelekenya will head the newly established Kenyan mission in Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital.
