Ambassador Maurice Makoloo Presents Letters of Credence to His Majesty King Charles III On 19 February 2026, H.E. Ambassador Maurice Makoloo formally presented his Letters of Credence to His Majesty King Charles III at St James's Palace, thereby assuming office as the 16th High Commissioner of the Republic of Kenya to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This significant diplomatic milestone reaffirms the longstanding, dynamic, and mutually beneficial partnership between Kenya and the United Kingdom. Ambassador Makoloo brings to London a distinguished career spanning diplomacy, international development, governance and law. He previously served as Kenya’s Ambassador to Austria and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Offices in Vienna, and has held senior leadership roles at Habitat for Humanity International and the Ford Foundation. In his Vin d’Honneur address, attended by Ambassadors and High Commissioners accredited to the Court of St James’s, UK Government officials, business leaders, students and members of the Kenyan diaspora, he affirmed: “My tenure here will be guided by a simple conviction: that the Kenya–UK partnership must not only endure, but innovate, inspire, and deliver tangible benefits for our peoples. We shall strengthen our political engagement, enhance trade and investment, and foster deeper people-to-people and technological collaboration.” Mr. Alistair Harrison, Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps at the Court of St James’s, reflected on the enduring partnership between the United Kingdom and Kenya, and noted the substantive agenda ahead as the High Commission engages with UK institutions, citizens, and the Kenyan diaspora community. The Kenya High Commission looks forward to further advancing the shared values of cooperation, opportunity, and mutual respect that underpin Kenya–UK relations and the broader Commonwealth partnership. #KenyaUK #Commonwealth #Trade #DiasporaEngagement For more details: kenyahighcom.org.uk/news/amb… @MusaliaMudavadi @SingoeiAKorir @ForeignOfficeKE @MMakoloo
