PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
While in military service, Munuve attended various courses among them senior infantry course in Kenya, Advanced Military training in USA, Staff Course at Defence Staff College Karen, Disaster Management and senior Administration course.
During my military service, he commanded infantry Battalion and Kenya Battalion 1 (KENBAT 1) in United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFR) in Former Yugoslavia in 1992/3.
He trained several officers and men in military training institutions. Among the officers he trained as cadets are the current Airforce Commander and the first woman Major General in the history of Kenyan Military.

Col Munuve is a highly decorated officer. He is accorded with seven (7) medals among them United Nations (UNPROFOR), Member of Burning Spear (MBS) and French Defense Medal for having saved French Soldiers holed up by Serbian opposing forces in a church along the Adriatic Coast in Croatia in April 1993 where six (6) soldiers were killed by directed bombing.
Col Munuve highly chequered UNHCR Career
Col Munuve joined the UNHCR as Field Safety Advisor in 2002 and worked as Security and Safety officer for Refugees and UN staff in Kakuma Camp in Turkana and briefly Dadaab Camps, managing a security budget for enhancement of refugee and staff security and safety on annual basis.
During this time, Munuve initiated Security Partnership (SPP) between UNHCR and Kenya Government which culminated into deployment of dedicated police force in the two Refugee locations.
A Prolific Leader with Skills in Budget and Procurement Management
This saw the increased budget that resulted to procurement of over 70 (Trucks & Pick-ups) fleet of security vehicles and construction of offices and residential accommodation to improve police support and welfare to secure refugee camps effectively.
It was Munuve's team that initiated vehicle tracking system in UNHCR program in Kenya Refugee program which has made great and positive strides in enhancement of UNHCR vehicle monitoring and movement control in Kenya's refugee operations.
He was also deployed as Field Safety Advisor in South Sudan and Darfur Region of the Sudan from February 2012 and March 2015 where he managed refugees and IDP Security and Staff Safety during Darfur crisis and South Sudan conflicts.
While at the UNHCR, Col. Munuve attended several Security and Leadership Management Courses among them Security Risk Management, Senior Leadership Management and Emergency Response courses.
He also earned a Degree in Bachelor of Business Management (Business Administration) through (DLP).
Col. Munuve retired in 2015 from UN but was called upon to support Emergency Operations in Kurdistan Region of Iraq between February and August 2017 to support IDP and refugee crisis where ISIS had taken control of several neighboring Provinces including the historical Nineve Province, the birth place of Abraham.
Col. Munuve, while retired but not tired today remains on UN Emergency Roster Program in which case he can be summoned upon to support such operations in conflict/trouble spots across the globe.
The career officer has an undying passion for humanitarian and community service, hence the reason for taking up the Mwingi West CDF Chairmanship under Wiper MP Hon. Charles Ngusya Nguna.
