A section of Kenyans in the diaspora are crying foul after they formed what one of our ambassadors said were “councils of unity” whose aim was to unite the Kenya community in the diaspora.

Those who were actively involved in the formation of these councils are now complaining that their intention is not to serve the community interests but to provide the diplomat’s preferred presidential aspirant with a ready and captive audience when he travels to the country in search of votes!

The Kenya High Commission in New Delhi has announced that it is working on plans of evacuating Kenyans seeking to return home but at their own cost.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on logistics to arrange for a chartered flight for the evacuation of Kenyans who want to return home at their own cost,” Ambassador Willy Bett said in a statement released on Monday.

The statement said that the identified airline needs to urgently know the number of passengers in order to determine the cost and type of aircraft to operate.

All Kenyans in India who are interested in returning home on envisaged evacuation flight are urgently requested to submit their names to the Kenya High Commission in New Delhi through the WhatsApp Telephone Number: +917428642477 or email: info@kenyahicom-delhi.com by close of business on April 21, 2020.

Among them include; one must be a Kenyan with a valid Kenyan passport, must be able to pay for their own fare and must be Covid-19 free with a certificate to that effect.

Those wishing to travel bak home must also be ready to undergo 14 days mandatory quarantine period imposed by the Government upon arrival in Nairobi.
