Kenya’s Senator Tabitha Mutinda has achieved a major milestone on the global stage after being elected to the Board of Governance of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). She will represent the East Africa Region for the 2025–2027 term, marking a significant win for Kenya and the region in global governance and financial diplomacy.
The Parliamentary Network’s Board plays a critical role in setting strategic priorities and overseeing global engagements between lawmakers, the World Bank, and the IMF. Its work focuses on promoting transparency, accountability, and development effectiveness—key pillars for sustainable economic growth across member nations.
In her message of appreciation, Senator Mutinda expressed gratitude and readiness to serve, saying she was “deeply humbled and ready to serve diligently, effectively, and efficiently.” She highlighted her background in finance and leadership as assets she will leverage to champion reforms that enhance good governance, fiscal responsibility, and inclusive development.
The announcement of her election in the Senate was met with bipartisan applause, a rare moment of unity across party lines. Wiper Party Senator Enoch Kiio Wambua lauded the appointment, calling it “a proud moment for Kenya and a win for women in leadership.” Senate Speaker Amason Kingi also congratulated Mutinda, describing her achievement as “a reflection of Kenya’s growing influence on the global stage.”
Senator Mutinda’s elevation to this influential international position underscores her growing reputation as one of Kenya’s leading voices in governance and public accountability. Her appointment not only amplifies Kenya’s voice in global development discussions but also positions her as a key advocate for Africa’s interests within the World Bank and IMF frameworks.
As she steps into this new role, Senator Mutinda is expected to advance regional priorities, foster cross-border collaboration, and champion transparency and sustainable growth—continuing Kenya’s tradition of leadership in international policymaking.
