This information is false.
Firstly, the Kenyan ambassador to Switzerland is based in Bern, not Geneva.
The position of Kenyan Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva is separate, and President William Ruto has already appointed individuals to both roles.
Fouzia Abass has been serving as the Kenyan ambassador in Bern for over ten months. Meanwhile, the newly appointed Kenyan ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Dr. Fancy Too is yet to report for duty.
Secondly, Kenya does not maintain any diplomatic presence in Kyiv, Ukraine, or N'Djamena, Chad.
Therefore, the claims regarding Ababu and Kuria being appointed to these locations are unfounded.
This fact-check by The Eastleigh Voice aims to clarify the misinformation and confirm the current diplomatic postings accurately.
