Fresh details have emerged on why Kenya was
left out when US President, Donald J Trump, made contact with several African leaders.
On Monday, Trump made a maiden call to
South Africa President, Jacob Zuma, and
Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari and
discussed various issues for hours.
According to a US official based in Washington, President Uhuru Kenyatta was
apparently left out because Kenya had not been in touch with Trump’s
administration terming it as ‘a failure of Kenya’s diplomacy’.
“Nigeria and South Africa have been working this for some time… They have
been in contact. Kenya has not done that,” said the official.
The officials said Kenya’s Ambassador to the US, Njeru Githae, has not been in
touch with Trump’s administration since he had been away for some time.
However, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary, Monicah Juma, has downplayed
this and said Trump’s calls do not involve Kenya in any way.
