Former US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger has landed a Sh370 million deal to spruce up the image of the South Sudanese government and its president in the eyes of the American government. Among those targeted by the sanction included an ex-Israel military officer and two South Sudanese nationals, Obac William Olawo and Gregory Vasili. The department also reaffirmed earlier sanctions that cut the taps of financial assistance to the country. Renneberger served as Washington DC’s ambassador to Nairobi from 2006 to 2011 before being succeeded by Robert Godec. He has partnered with Soheil Nazir-Kangarlou to form the Gainful Solutions Inc.
