Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua made an important communication on March 1st, this year to foreign mission.

Through a Note Verbale (NV) he informed Diplomatic and Consular Missions, United Nations (UN) Agencies, and other International Organisations (IOs) in Kenya that, "it had been agreed, in the interests of efficiency, that the Missions may communicate directly with Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) without going through the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs (MFDA)," but copy the correspondence to MFDA.
