Members of Parliament have condemned what they termed as persistent delays and an unresponsive State Department for Diaspora Affairs, which they accused of failing to adequately address concerns affecting Kenyans living and working abroad.
In a heated session at the National Assembly, the State Department, led by Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu, found itself on the receiving end of what they termed as failure to respond to parliamentary inquiries on the welfare and safety of Kenyans in the diaspora.
MPs questioned the department’s commitment, with Belgut MP and Chairperson of the Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, Nelson Koech, stating that they have experienced difficulties in obtaining responses from the Ministry despite several attempts.
