Sifuna can be great Foreign Affairs CS in future – Kalonzo

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka now says that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna can make a great Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary in future.

Speaking on Sunday, Kalonzo said a country needs a good image outside and that Sifuna is a good communicator and he fits that.

He noted that should he be in a position to pick who would be the next Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, he would without a doubt go for Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.

He equated Sifuna's communication skills to his and those of the late Robert Ouko, noting that while he served in different ministries previously, he is most remembered for the Foreign Affairs docket.

"You know the country wants a good image outside, people have forgotten that I was the minister for Education, Environment and Tourism but they remember that I was the minister for foreign affairs. Kenyans remember Robert Ouko. If the time comes and I am in a place where I can choose the Minister of Foreign Affairs that will be Edwin Sifuna. I'm not saying when. He is most qualified, he understands the law. He can make an excellent CS," Kalonzo said.

"This young man is a communicator and I thank God for him. Soon, whatever it is, this guy will want in this Nairobi, or Kenya give it to him because he is able."

Kalonzo described Sifuna as one of the most fearless young leaders in the country.

The Wiper party leader and former Vice president also called on other leaders to emulate Sifuna in how, or when they communicate.

"If there is a brave person in Kenya, this is your young senator. He is brave. He is a communicator. For leadership matters, my brothers, MPs and other leaders you also need to communicate as clearly as Sifuna does," he added.

Kalonzo and other Azimio leaders passed by Kenyatta market after a church service at Nairobi Baptist.
