National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi is celebrating a proud milestone after his daughter, Ann Natalie Mbadi, graduated from an Australian university.
In an update on Tuesday, September 9, Mbadi announced that his daughter was conferred with a Master of Law in Labour and Employment Law from Monash University in Melbourne.
He shared the joy of the achievement, noting that he attended the graduation alongside his wife, Roda Mbadi.
"Alongside my spouse Roda Mbadi, we had the honour of witnessing the conferment of our daughter Ann Natalie Mbadi who graduated with Masters of Law in Labour and Employment Law at Monash University in Melbourne City, Australia," he said.

Mbadi described the ceremony as an emotional moment for him as a parent, reflecting on the journey of raising his daughter and witnessing her accomplishment.
"Seeing her match gently down the aisle, up the rostrum together with fellow graduates wasn't just fulfilling, the moment invoked silent tears of parental love. Congratulations Natalie, we are proud of you daughter," he added.
Monash University was established in 1958 and named in honour of Sir John Monash, an accomplished Australian military commander, engineer, and administrator.
Officially opening its doors to students in 1961, it was created as Victoria’s second university, following the University of Melbourne, to meet the growing demand for higher education in the post-war period.
Monash also developed a distinct international outlook. In 1998, it became one of the first Australian universities to establish a campus overseas, opening in Malaysia.
This was followed by a campus in South Africa in 2001, which operated until 2019.
This comes barely a week after former Devolution and Planning Principal Secretary Irungu Nyakera graduated from the prestigious Oxford University with a Master’s in Business Administration.
In an update on Thursday, September 4, Nyakera announced the achievement, sharing his gratitude and reflections on the rigorous journey.
"Today I celebrate completing my Master's in Business Administration at Oxford University! For the past two years, I have traveled from Nairobi to Oxford almost every month for 10 days. Each visit was filled with intense learning, growth, and self-discovery that has been nothing short of life-changing," he said.
Nyakera, who recently declared interest in the Nairobi gubernatorial seat, expressed appreciation to those who supported him throughout the process.
"I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and everyone who has walked with me through it all. Here is to new chapters, fresh possibilities, and using what I have learned to make an even greater impact in Nairobi, Kenya, and beyond," he added.
