“I look forward to joining my colleagues so that together, we can contribute to security and stability in Somalia. We will ensure that the mission delivers on its mandate,” Maj. Gen. Muteti said in an interview.

In the KDF, Maj. Gen. Muteti, previously served as a Platoon Commander, Company Commander, Battalion-second-in Command and Battalion Commander. Additionally, he also served as the Senior Instructor and Commandant of Kenya Army School.

He holds a master’s degree in Defence Studies and also served as Kenya’s Defence Attaché to the UK.
