The most prestigious honor is the Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
The United Kingdom’s Honours System designates the CBE as a significant national post and a highly visible position in regional affairs where a person has demonstrated outstanding achievement or dedication to the community.
It acknowledges a significantly outstanding and pioneering contribution to that person’s field of endeavour.
The New Year honours confer recognisation to exceptionally talented individuals for their noteworthy contributions to British society.
The King has formally acknowledged Claudia Rose’s contributions to preserving cultural heritage. She is the Head of Regional Affairs at Historic England and the President of the Battersea Arts Centre.
Claudia Rose Kenyatta is a highly skilled and ambitious individual with a strong presence and impressive leadership qualities.
Claudia is the granddaughter of Kenya’s first President, Jomo Kenyatta, and Edna Clarke, his British partner, who was the wife of the late Jomo Kenyatta.
The London-born female from the Kenyatta family is the daughter of Peter Kenyatta.
Prior to her aggressive demeanor, she attended South Hampstead High School, later earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern History at Oxford University from 1993 to 1996.
She furthered her studies at University College London for a Master’s degree in Museum Studies from 2002 to 2003.
Kenyan attorney Faith Odhiambo has been honored with the esteemed Jurist of the Year award.
Faith Odhiambo, the present President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), has been recognized as the Jurist of the Year, in recognition of her tireless commitment to the principles of the rule of law and human rights.
She attributes the award to the joint diligence of individuals in promoting justice and adherence to the law.
She reaffirmed her dedication to ensuring the independence of the judiciary, upholding ethical standards in government, and providing universal access to the justice system.
The chairman of the International Commission of Jurists, Protas Saende, applauded Odhiambo for his outstanding leadership, particularly in a year characterised by government repression, breaches of human rights, and a decline in public confidence in public institutions.
