He added that we can confirm that although deeply distressed, Margaret is managing and has been treated with humanity.

Sing’oei further indicated that efforts were still underway to prevent Nduta from a pending execution through an appeal submitted to the courts, in addition to diplomatic discussions between Kenya and Vietnam.

The PS stated that although Margaret was not represented by legal counsel during the trial, an appeal filed a few days ago will be heard shortly. In the interim, we continue to engage with our Vietnamese counterparts regarding alternative options to resolve this challenging matter. Kenya’s authorities in Thailand are trying to negotiate a stay of execution of Nduta to pave the way for further discussions between Kenya and the Vietnamese government.

The latest development follows the PS’s revelation that he discussed Nduta’s predicament over the phone with his Vietnamese Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Nguyen Minh Hang.

Korir: In a statement issued on Sunday, March 16, stated that while Nduta’s case was challenging and intricate, Nguyen indicated that Kenya’s appeal was under consideration.
