The mother of Margaret Nduta<\/strong>, the Kenyan woman sentenced to death in Vietnam<\/strong> on drug trafficking charges, has made a desperate appeal<\/strong> to President William Ruto<\/strong>, urging further diplomatic intervention to secure her daughter\u2019s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking from their home in Murang\u2019a County<\/strong>, Purity Wangari<\/strong> expressed gratitude to the Kenyan government<\/strong> for stepping in at the eleventh hour<\/strong>, delaying Nduta\u2019s execution. However, she admitted that her family is still living in anguish<\/strong>, fearing the uncertainty of her fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am appealing to President Ruto<\/strong> to continue negotiations with the Vietnamese authorities and explore all possible avenues to bring my daughter back home<\/strong>,\u201d she pleaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nduta, 37<\/strong>, was arrested in July 2023<\/strong> at Ho Chi Minh City Airport<\/strong>, allegedly smuggling two kilos of cocaine<\/strong>. She was convicted and sentenced to death on March 6, 2025<\/strong>, under Vietnam\u2019s stringent drug laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her family, alongside civil society groups and Kenyan diplomats, have been lobbying for a sentence review<\/strong> or possible repatriation to serve a jail term in Kenya<\/strong>. However, securing clemency remains an uphill battle<\/strong>, as Vietnam has one of the strictest anti-drug laws<\/strong> globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
