Although the former Kenyan president joined the organisation early this year, he was formally named to the board on September 16, 2024.

According to the Tana Forum, Uhuru’s entry to the board is significant owing to his experience in leading peace talks in major parts of the continent including Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

A statement issued by the forum states:

“The Tana Forum Secretariat is honoured to welcome H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, former President of the Republic of Kenya, as the newest member of our distinguished Tana Board, who officially joined in March 2024. With his vast knowledge and expertise, H.E. Kenyatta is set to greatly strengthen our collective efforts in advancing the Forum’s mission and vision,” read the statement in part.

“We look forward to the impactful contributions he will bring to our organization.”

On the board, Uhuru will serve alongside prominent leaders such as the Former President of the Republic of Ghana John Dramani. Dramani serves as the chairperson.

Other prominent faces include Joyce Banda (Former President of Malawi), Lassina Zerbo (Former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso), and Catherine Samba-Panza (Former President of Central Africa Republic) among others.

Notably, Uhuru will also serve on the board alongside Kenya’s Prof Patrick (PLO) Lumumba Otieno.

“The Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa is an annual meeting that brings together African leaders and stakeholders to engage and explore African-led security solutions,” the forum explained its mandate.

“The Tana Forum promotes African-led solutions by holding discussions on the strategic and pro-active management of African peace and security issues driven by the interest to contribute to stronger ownership of these issues.”

Currently social media spaces have been inundated with speculation over the former president’s health condition.

For many years Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta has been a reveller whose love for the tipple and an occasional cigarette is well-documented.
