Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has been honoured with the prestigious Christina Hackman Impact Leadership (CHIL) International Award during a ceremony in Accra, Ghana.
The award recognises Mwaura’s efforts in advancing social justice, inclusive communication, and disability advocacy. It was presented at the CHIL International Awards organised by Here for Perfection (H4P), a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Mwaura, who attended the event as an international chief guest, expressed surprise and gratitude at being recognised.
“I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition. It reaffirms my commitment to advancing social justice and ensuring that persons with disabilities are fully included in all aspects of society,” he said.
He emphasised that the award reflects collective efforts, stating,
“This award is not just mine; it belongs to every individual and organisation working tirelessly to promote inclusion and equality.”
Mwaura extended his appreciation to the organisers, including H4P founder Charles Cofie Hackman and event coordinator Dolly Armah, for their dedication to disability advocacy. He dedicated the award to children in Kenya born with disabilities, noting that their resilience inspires efforts to build a more inclusive society.
