Burudi Nabwera, a Kenyan politician and diplomat who served as ambassador to the United States in 1964, died October 9, 2026, aged 99.
His public career spanned diplomatic representation, ministerial service, elected office and a later appointment in Kenya’s sugar industry. During the 1960s, he served as Kenya’s permanent representative to the United Nations, alongside his work as ambassador.
He later retired from the diplomatic service and entered domestic politics, moving from representing Kenya abroad to constituency-based political work.

His public roles later included leadership in the sugar sector: in 2007, he was named chairman of Nzoia Sugar company in Bungoma, Kenya, for a three-year term.
