Kenya’s foreign policy solid, ignore naysayers

My attention has been drawn to an article appearing on The Standard on Thursday May 20, titled “Why Kenya’s foreign influence is waning”, authored by one Kenneth Kuboka. The article presents flagrant errors and malevolent untruths regarding Kenya’s foreign policy and diplomatic stature.

In fact, Kenya’s relations with other members of the international community and Kenyans in diaspora couldn’t be better. Our foreign policy is consistently devoted to the five pillars of Peace, Diaspora, Economic, Environment and Culture in terms of doctrine and practice of diplomacy.
