Namwamba, a former MP for Bundalangi, currently serves as the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

Director of Communications for Ruto’s Presidential Campaign Secretariat Hussein Mohamed described Namwamba as a high-profile attorney and human rights advocate.

Ruto says Namwamba brings a wealth of expertise and broad experience as a leader, lawyer, politician, diplomat, and public servant.

“We have worked closely with Ababu over the past 10 years on many fronts and I have come to value his leadership, experience, focus, and empathy. It is because of those qualities that I could not be more grateful to have him in our campaign team.”

“With his considerable diplomatic talents, deep knowledge of the continent, strong network in the global stage and unwavering determination, I am confident in his role, leading international relations within my presidential campaign,” Ruto said in a statement.

Namwamba served as the Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs during the grand coalition government.

    @ Noooooo

    Kama ni mapenzi yangu, ningependa kumwona Ndugu Kivutha Kibwana akichaguliwa kuwa rais wa Kenya 2022.

    Ilisemekana ya kwamba, yeye (Kivutha) ndiye gavana pekee aliyefanya kazi nzuri sana ya kuwatumikia wana kaunti yake kuliko ganana yeyote katika Jamhuri ya Kenya.

    I dont know about you fellas but I take integrity high on my scale of judging politicians.It is rumored that Namwamba had an affair with is uncle's wife;his aunt.Some say these rumors were confirmed.To have an affair is bad enough but with your aunt is dangerously close to incest.Which I believe many societies dont condone.That alone in my book disqualifies him as a worthy public servant.

    Olunjues are funny they can do anything.

    Maxiley: Wow, if it is indeed true that Amwamba has an uncontrolled sex drive, I think he will be in good company with Ruto. I heard through the grapevine that William knocked up a 16-year-old Samburu maid when he was in the ministry of agriculture and livestock. Birds of a feather.

    I guess they will form an alliance called RUTOMBA(ruto+ namwamba).One can replace the R with a K if they so wish to be more inline with their unrestrained sexual appetite...

    @Maxiley, You judge someone based on the company he keeps. Namwamba is hanging out with the right crowd especially with Baba Abby who has impregnated countless 18-21 y.o girls in Universities including Mama Abby. He is also a wife batterer and thats not counting all the corrupt deals he has made plus attempt to impeach his boss.
    Namwamba is feeling very much at home.

    @ Maxiley.

    I totally agree with you about the importance of “integrity” as the minimum requirement in our elected public servants.

    @ Maxiley:

    You are right. INTEGRITY matters.
