From a junior Kenya Defence Forces officer, Brigadier Yvonne Kerubo Kirui has risen through the ranks to become one of the most powerful women in KDF today.
The seasoned Kenya Air Force officer is a one-star general, who could defy all the odds to become a three-star general or even a full general.
By virtue of her education background, Brigadier Kerubo is one of the few specialist officers in the country today. That’s because of her training as a lawyer. It is therefore not surprising that she found herself at KDF headquarters as director of legal services.
Boasting over two decades of military career, Brigadier Kerubo is at the heart of major KDF decisions that have legal implications.
It’s therefore not surprising that she often attends most high profile KDF meetings, especially those that involve signing of deals.
For someone who is always on top- decisions making table, Brigadier Kerubo is one woman to watch in future KDF promotions. Will she follow the footsteps of former Kenya Air Force commander, Major General Fatuma Gaiti Ahmed? Well, only time will tell.
