'Tutafanya Kazi Pamoja', Incoming US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter Says as He Lands in Nairobi
Incoming United States Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter has landed in Nairobi to take up his new duties.
McCarter has on Tuesday morning presented his credentials to President Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi.
McCarter has presented his credentials alongside six other envoys from Botswana, Chile, Ethiopia, Korea, and Iceland.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta today received Letters of Credence from incoming Ambassadors and High Commissioner, from six countries. The Envoys, both resident, and nonresident presented their credentials to the President at State House, Nairobi,” State House says in a tweet.
McCarter says he's excited to be in Kenya and is ready to execute his mandate.
“Just presented credentials to his Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta. Officially in place and ready to work side by side. Tutafanya kazi pamoja,” McCarter says in a tweet.
McCarter, who was appointed to the prestigious position by President Donald Trump last year, takes over from Ambassador Robert Godec who served in the position since 2012.
McCarter and his wife Victoria have worked in Kenya for more than 30 years, having founded the Each1Feed1International Charity in Tharaka-Nithi County.
The charity helps abandoned, abused as well as orphaned children and also provides a medical clinic for those with HIV and Malaria.
The two can fluently converse in Swahili.

Open where??
Jubilee is busy sending goons and death threats to NASA supporters and ODM supporters and their families.
And jubilee politicians should know we can send goons to you and your families too.
We outnumber you by millions.
Continue and see.
We want secession.

Kenya Ndugu Kyle McCarter.
Pia namshukuru rais wa nchi ya Marekani Ndugu Donald Trump kwa kumteua balozi wa nchi ya Marekani katika nchi ya Kenya ambaye ameishi nchini hapo awali na pia anaelewa na kusema lugha yetu ya taifa ya Kiswahili.
Haya basi Ndugu Balozi, "TUFANYE KAZI PAMOJA" kama taifa moja hapa kwenye Sayari (planet) ya ardhi. Jisikie nyumbani (feel at home).

@formerlyguest2: Waswahili husema, "Heshima si utumwa." Si makosa balozi anayekuja Kenya kujua Kiswahili na pia historia na utamaduni wetu. Hii itafanya kazi yake kuwa rahisi kwa manufaa ya nchi yake ya Marekani.

1. Can you start by telling Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to stop this nonesense of sending goons after supporters of Raila Odinga, ODM members like Edwin Sifuna and NASA supporters.
Start there.
Soon, we will start retaliation and you better mind your business.
Speak now or hold your peace.
2. About terrorism—Stop telling us Junkies, alcoholics, , pathological liars,landgrabbers, thieves ,killers , mannerless individuals are WINNING the war against sober terrorists.
Such characters cannot even win a war against their own body-zero discipline.
3. Secession is the future.Get with the program.
4. All refugees must be intergrated in the counties they live in. The US and it’s allies will pay for it since you decided to bomb Somalia , bomb Elephants 💣 🐘🐘🐘 and sell charcoal. Your paying for integration of Somali refugees in Garissa county.
While on this topic stop bombing Elephants in Somali and trees.Your destabilizing the ecosystem with such nonsense.
We are tired.
