Money is a good thing, especially when used to solve problems. There should never be a sacrifice of health in favour of employment. Chemicals in industry should sustain good health.

🇰🇪🤝🇬🇳 Building Bridges, Strengthening Institutions, Celebrating African Solidarity! 🌍
The Permanent Delegation of the Republic of Kenya to UNESCO was delighted to welcome @ledamalekina, Senator for Narok County, during his visit to Paris to participate in the UNESCO Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Ministerial Forum.
Received by Amb. Kasera Achayo, Deputy Permanent Delegate, the Senator engaged the Delegation in a cordial and insightful exchange on leadership, governance, institutional excellence, and the importance of transparent, accountable, and effective diplomatic representation.
The engagement was preceded by a delightful luncheon graciously hosted by the Senator, bringing together Delegation staff and accompanying guests from the Republic of Guinea, including Ms. Halimatou Diallo, a young Fulani professional with academic and professional experience in Canada.
From reflections on the Senator's journey as a young Maasai navigating the wider world to conversations on Kenya's future, African identity, youth aspirations, and international opportunities, the occasion beautifully illustrated the power of dialogue, shared experiences, and meaningful human connections.
✨ Beyond the meeting room, diplomacy thrives through friendship, cultural exchange, and a shared commitment to a stronger, more connected Africa.
The Delegation extends its appreciation to Hon. Sen. Olekina and the accompanying guests for an enriching engagement.

KENYA CELEBRATES THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S 250TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY AND REAFFIRMS ENDURING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
At the invitation of the U.S. Secretary of State, The Honorable Marco Rubio, H.E. David Kerich, Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to the United States of America, joined fellow Chiefs of Mission at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., for the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of America’s Independence. This historic milestone marks two and a half centuries of the United States’ journey of nationhood, founded on the ideals of freedom, democracy, resilience, innovation and pursuit of shared prosperity.
The celebration provided an important platform to reflect on the United States’ remarkable contributions to global development, technological advancement, entrepreneurship, international cooperation, peace and security, as well as its longstanding partnerships with nations across the world.

Kerich held cordial discussions with Secretary Rubio, during which they reaffirmed the strong and enduring Kenya–United States Strategic Partnership founded on shared values, mutual respect and common aspirations. The engagement underscored the commitment of both countries to continue strengthening cooperation across priority areas, including trade and investment, security cooperation, digital transformation, innovation, education, health, climate resilience, and regional and global peace initiatives.
Kenya and the United States continue to enjoy a deep and historic relationship spanning 62 years of diplomatic relations, characterized by strong government to government collaboration, vibrant people to people connections and shared commitment to addressing global challenges. Over the decades, this partnership has evolved into a broad strategic relationship supporting economic growth, democratic institutions, security cooperation, entrepreneurship, scientific advancement and cultural exchange.
As Kenya congratulates the Government and the people of the United States on this extraordinary milestone, we celebrate the enduring bonds of friendship between our two nations and recognize the important role that this partnership continues to play in creating opportunities, advancing innovation and promoting a more secure and prosperous world.
The Embassy of the Republic of Kenya remains committed to further deepening this relationship by expanding opportunities for investment, enhancing commercial partnerships, strengthening diaspora engagement, promoting tourism and cultural diplomacy, and advancing areas of mutual interest for the benefit of the people of Kenya and the United States.
Congratulations to the Government and People of the United States of America on 250 years of independence, progress and achievement.

There are languages that transcend social and political boundaries. Science is one of those languages.
Engineering is the grammar of science.
In Africa, engineering does more than build infrastructure; it builds trust, turning scientific precision into economic power. – at Nairobi, Kenya
