Mr Amayo finally reported for duty in Washington, DC mid this week, more than a year since he was appointed and re-assigned from the United Nations in New York.

He will be accompanied atย the White House by only his wife.

โ€œBecause of Covid-19, Ambassador Amayo will only be accompanied by his spouse,โ€ David Gacheru, the Deputy Chief of Missions who has been acting in the absence of a fully accredited envoy, said.

The former Karachuonyo MP takes over the key post in Washington that was once held by Robinson Njeru Githae who left for Austria.

Itโ€™s understood that Mr Amayo could not report immediately after his appointment last year due to what Kenyaโ€™s Foreign Affairs Ministry described as โ€œprocedural matters.โ€

Principal Secretary Macharia Kamau previously told KSN News, an online news aggregator published by BMJ Murithi, that he was held up by other matters.

โ€œThe man has been busy with other matters in New York, including our push for a seat on the UN Security Council. Besides, we have a very able Ambassador running the Washington DC office in the name of David Gacheru.โ€
