Kenya's deputy president to run foreign policy rule in new shift

Kenya’s Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua could now be the face of the country’s top foreign policy dealings after taking charge of “cross-cutting” meetings with foreign envoys, eating the lunch of the substantive Foreign Affairs Cabinet secretary.

An official memo sent to diplomatic missions, and known as note verbale, on Wednesday instructed embassies to consider working directly with specified government agencies as long as they copy in the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs in correspondences.
