Women leaders have warmly welcomed Amina Mohamed back from Ethiopia where she contested for the position of African Union Commission boss. The Foreign Affairs CS was received at the JKIA in Nairobi on Wednesday by leaders including PS Monica Juma, Gender CS Sicily Kariuki and Labour's Phyllis Kandie. Kariuki praised Amina as a role model for Kenya's young women, adding she has looked up to the CS since they met in 2004. Amina's loss was a big blow to Kenya as it had been said that the African leaders were receptive of her candidature.
