The National Assembly Defence Committee on Tuesday April 16, 2024 rejected President William Ruto’s nominee for Consul-General to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The members of parliament (MPs) rejected Charles Githinji’s nomination after he appeared before the National Assembly committee with a form four certificate and a driving license only.

While appearing before the MPs for the interview, Githinji said that he has working experience in running a petrol station.
A degree from a recognised university is among the requirements for the Consul-General job.
