About Robert Ouko (politician)

  • The Honorable Dr.
  • John Robert Ouko (31 March 1931 – c.
  • 13 February 1990), commonly known as Robert Ouko, was a Kenyan politician who served as Foreign Minister of Kenya from 1979 to 1983 and from 1988 to 1990.
  • Robert Ouko served in the government of Kenya from the colonial period through the presidencies of Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi.
  • He was a member of the National Assembly for Kisumu and a cabinet minister, rising to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation by 1990.
  • He was murdered in Kenya on 13 February 1990.
  • The murder case, perhaps the most intriguing in Kenyan history, remains unsolved. A report presented in parliament in 2010 states that the murder was carried out in one of then President Daniel arap Moi's official residences.
  • It also called for further investigations into top officials, including one of Moi's closest allies, Nicholas Biwott, who denies responsibility.
  • In late December 2010 the report was rejected by Parliament on the grounds of a lack of unity, and disagreements within the committee.
