[COURTESY]At a time the diaspora remittances have become the top foreign exchange earner, it is ironic that Kenya’s foreign policy is on the decline. Gone is the golden era of diplomacy when Kenya was at peak performance in her foreign policy. To the east, Kenya has had serious squabbles with Somalia over the maritime dispute, Kenya’s soldiers in Somalia, among others.

The ministry should ensure they recruit people with enthusiasm, capabilities and knowledge on matters of foreign policy to Kenya’s embassies abroad.
