With all due respect surely, cant the Kenyan Embassy in Stockholm Sweden, help citizen Ann Okoth at least get her Passport or even an explanation as to why her passport has delayed in Kenya? This is her right, and it’s sad to see the Embassy officials coming up with no answers or explanation to let Ann Okoth get any information about her passport.
Peter at the Embassy is just a mere translator and I believe that he cannot do much to explain the where about of Ann Okoth’s passport in Kenya. It’s so ashaming that a passport issue has to put the President under attack while those he chose to work under him are just keeping quiet with no explanation.
It’s high time the Kenyan embassy in Stockholm started taking Kenyans in Stockholm as Kenyan citizens and not as enemies or dissidents. In each family, be it a Kenyan family, a Tanzanian family and even a Swedish family, there is always an odd one out, but that does not stop him from being a member of the same family.
Yes the Embassy might think that some Kenyans in Stockholm are odd ones out by the way they attack the Kenya goverment or the Embassy, but we cannot do much about that since they are still Kenyans and they are part of our family. The Embassy need to portray a good image and handle such small issues well.
All the critiques and attacks should be handled diplomatically inorder for Kenyans to prosper and, I believe, that is the meaning of a diplomat – to handle issues diplomatically. Embassy officials should get an explanation and if it’s beyond their capacity let Ann know so that she can get help from concerned Kenyans. There are other faster ways…..butdoisay….
Dissapointed Kenyan!!!
