As President of KNDI, Dr. Omondi provides strategic direction to the Institute, overseeing its mandate to regulate and professionalize Kenya's nutrition and dietetics sector. Under his stewardship, KNDI has strengthened its regulatory systems, enhanced professional standards, and expanded its national and regional influence.

A strong advocate for capacity building, Dr. Omondi has prioritized developing a highly skilled nutrition workforce. He has championed initiatives that promote continuous professional development, research, and innovation, ensuring that practitioners remain equipped to address emerging health challenges.
