Alfred Mutua Named Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and Diaspora

what do all MFs who did not vote ruto has to say? lets hear y'all trash talk this guy like u have been doing! he is delivering and I don not regret my vote proudly casted in LA

Kenyan Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Our Embassy in Washington should be one of your top priorities in your new assignment. Why?
1. There are very incompetent employees who do not take their job seriously. For example, when you call the embassy, your phone is rarely answered. There are times when the phone rings repeatedly for a long time and then silence follows and remains.
2. When the voicemail is activated, they ordinarily ask the caller to leave their name, phone number, and a brief message. You (the caller) is assured their phone call will be answered! This does not happen.
3. If you are lucky and your phone call has a live response, the one responding your phone is usually rude, inconsiderate, arrogant, and occasionally yells at the caller for absolutely no reason.
My recommendations:
All the current embassy employees should be recalled, retrained and hired in Kenya where efficiency is not a priority.

I think Mutua will handle that docket pretty well to make gold digger Lil a little jealous!

Nine out of ten Kenyans living abroad enjoy a good lifestyle, no need for additional ministry. A department in FA to address the issue of domestic and casual laborers would be adequate. Only simpletons will be impressed.

London High Commission is worse, probably the worst in Europe. It takes on average two years to obtain your passport if you’re lucky. We applied for biometric Kenyan passports four years ago, we are still waiting! The staff at the UK high commission are totally incompetent and the whole lot should be replaced as they keep telling us it’s easier to fly to Nairobi to obtain documentation. Obtaining Birth Certs for children is a nightmare, in general obtaining any type of Kenyan official documentation is an onerous task as I suppose the records are still manual rather than digitised! You need to provide a sack of documentation, a myriad of photocopies of documentation to obtain replacement IDs, Birth certs etc. Parents find it easier to travel to Kenya to obtain documentation given the nightmare of obtaining any assistance from the high commission. Staff are inefficient, rude and unprofessional. Speaking of which, why do Kenyans have to lose citizenship when they obtain other citizenship per the new constitution. Most developed countries don’t make you lose your citizenship as a result of obtaining dual citizenship? In Short it normally takes two weeks to obtain a passport or official document in developed countries, six weeks during high seasons and this is done via online application, not even in person. It takes years, most likely a plane ticket and wasted phone calls to Kenyan Consulates for the same.

The London High Commission is worse. They go as far as advising people to go to Kenya to obtain services that the rude unprofessional incompetent inept commission is unable to provide. Applications are stuck for years with no support and your better off, if you can manage and only if, travel to Kenya to obtain a simple birth certificate. We are still in the era of posting photocopies when the world has moved to digitisation, online applications etc. Manual inept processes coupled with unprofessional staff.

It appears Kenya embassies suffer from the same level of incompetence and rudeness. Unless they can train the people working there, a new ministry just adds a burden on the Kenya taxpayer. Maybe Mūtua will up the service levels given that he might have dealt with embassies and consulates in the US and Australia. BTW the Perth consulate appears to take the prize in this race to the bottom. https://www.google.com/search?q=kenya+embassy+australia&oq=&aqs=chrome…
