Uingereza inamteua Matt Baugh kuwa mjumbe mkuu nchini Kenya

Uingereza limeteua Matt Baugh, mwanadiplomasia mzoefu, kuwa Mjumbe Mkuu wake nchini Kenya, akimfuata Neil Wigan ambaye aliondoka miezi nane iliyopita. Baugh ataanza kazi yake mwezi huu, baada ya kuthibitishwa na Rais William Ruto. Katibu Mkuu wa Mambo ya Nje Korir Sing'Oei amemkaribisha Nairobi.

Serikali ya Uingereza imetangaza uteuzi wa John William Matthew Baugh, anayejulikana kama Matt Baugh OBE, kuwa Mjumbe Mkuu wake nchini Kenya. Uteuzi huu umefuata nafasi iliyokuwa wazi tangu Neil Wigan OBE aondoke Agosti mwaka jana. Wakati huo, Ed Barnett amekuwa akihudumu kama Chargé d’Affaires katika Ubalozi wa Uingereza, pamoja na nafasi yake kama Mwakilishi wa Kudumu kwa UNEP na UN-Habitat.

"Mr Matt Baugh OBE ameteuliwa Mjumbe Mkuu wa Uingereza nchini Kenya, akimfuata Mr Neil Wigan OBE, ambaye amepata uteuzi mwingine wa Diplomasia. Baugh ataanza kazi yake Aprili 2026," tangazo la serikali ya Uingereza lilisema.

Baugh, ambaye sasa anapata mafunzo ya kabla ya kazi ikijumuisha Kiswahili, ana uzoefu mkubwa katika diplomasia. Alihudumu kama Balozi nchini Somalia kutoka 2010 hadi 2013, na nafasi za juu katika Ofisi ya Mambo ya Nje, Jumii na Maendeleo (FCDO), ikijumuisha Mkurugenzi wa Uhamiaji na Migogoro (2024-2025).

Uteuzi huu unafuatiwa na mabadiliko ya hivi karibuni nchini Kenya, ambapo Rais Ruto alimteua Maurice Makoloo kuwa Mjumbe Mkuu wa Kenya Uingereza, na kutoa barua zake za uthibitisho kwa Mfalme Charles III Februari 19, 2026.
