John Burugu

John Burugu is the Commissioner for Refugee Affairs in Kenya, a position that places him at the forefront of addressing the challenges faced by the country's large refugee population. Recently, he has been in the news due to the impact of U.S. aid cuts on health services in refugee camps, where he reported the closure of 19 health facilities and the layoff of 100 staff members, raising serious concerns about the well-being of refugees, particularly mothers and children, in Kakuma and Dadaab camps.
