The government of Kenya and the family of Margaret Nduta, a Kenyan woman facing the death penalty in Vietnam for drug trafficking, are anxiously awaiting news on her final fate. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, also the Foreign Affairs minister, has finally spoken up about Nduta’s case, assuring the public that every effort is being made to prevent her execution by lethal injection.
Mudavadi revealed that Kenya has received details of the charges against Nduta and is actively working towards securing clemency for her. He emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, it is unfortunate that a Kenyan is facing this kind of situation. It’s not a pleasant situation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in constant communication with Vietnamese authorities to seek mitigation in the process and prevent a summary execution.

But Nduta’s case is not the only one on the government’s radar. Mudavadi disclosed that his office is compiling data on other Kenyan citizens who have encountered legal troubles abroad. This information will guide the government’s intervention for those in need of assistance. Shockingly, there are approximately 1,000 Kenyans in different countries facing incarceration for various offenses, highlighting the need for proactive measures to protect citizens overseas.
A significant number of Kenyan women find themselves imprisoned in foreign countries for drug trafficking, often falling victim to the allure of this dangerous trade. The government is issuing a plea to Kenyans traveling abroad to remain vigilant and avoid falling into traps set by criminals. Mudavadi cautioned, The laws that apply are not Kenyan laws. Please, young Kenyans that are going out, remember this crucial point.

Moreover, Mudavadi stressed the importance of upholding Kenya’s reputation as an anti-drugs country. He warned against tarnishing the nation’s image by engaging in illicit activities like drug trafficking or human trafficking. The government is committed to preventing Kenya from being used as a conduit for criminal activities, emphasizing the need for travelers to be cautious and responsible.
