Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the building collapse in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
We hope for the safe rescue of those still trapped and extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy.

Congratulations Kenya on the Global Trust Summit! Trust is fundamental to multilateral & regional cooperation as well as domestic development. By gathering government, civil society, private sector, academia and youth, Kenya put trust at the forefront in this highly timely event

It’s a steep, painful uphill struggle to get the message across, but it’s both important and laudable that the British ambassador is doing this, and I hope more Western ambassadors follow his example
(And the reason why the Kremlin/Russian MFA try to suppress this message is precisely because it undermines their whole “we have to do what we do because Europe is irredeemably Russophobic” narrative)

No chairs, just connections! 🇬🇧🇰🇪
Our inaugural Mombasa Open House brought the UK–Kenya partnership closer through conversations, culture and cuisine.
Read @reubenmwambingu @PeopleDailyKe piece.

Deputy Head of Mission, Amb. @ikchir saw off @CJMarthaKoome in London following her participation in the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) International Graduation Ceremony, where she received a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her exceptional leadership and longstanding contribution to the advancement of ADR and people-centred justice, both in Kenya and internationally.
A proud moment celebrating Kenya’s contribution to advancing access to justice and strengthening people-centred approaches to dispute resolution.

Key strategic tension from the panel:
• @MoussaMaraMali & @FCDOMattBaugh: Re-engineering local governance and using platforms like the G20 to overhaul debt architecture.
• The Big Debate: Pursuing a formal San Francisco-style diplomatic conference to rewrite the @UN Charter vs. executing targeted political pressure directly on key decision-makers.

“Trust is not created by promises alone. It is created when institutions, governments and international partners do what they said they would do.”

🇬🇧🇪🇺 A significant moment as @CWilson_FCDO formally presents her credentials as UK Ambassador to the EU.
And with the next UK-EU Summit coming up on 20 November, plenty of important work ahead.

Outstanding legal expertise. Global experience.
An unwavering commitment to the rule of law, and to the independence and integrity of the Court.
Hear why Professor @DapoAkandeLaw is the UK's candidate for the International Court of Justice.

Trust is not built through words alone. It is earned through integrity, accountability and actions that deliver real results.
Representing H.E. President @WilliamsRuto at the Global Trust Summit 2026 Dinner, I engaged leaders from different sectors and regions on the importance of rebuilding confidence in our institutions, partnerships and societies.
Our discussions reinforced a simple truth: strong relationships and credible institutions are essential to attracting investment, creating opportunities for young people and addressing shared global challenges.
For Kenya, strengthening trust means building partnerships that deliver, institutions that serve and an economy where citizens and businesses can thrive.

Kenya hosts #TheTrustSummit2026.
Ambassadors from across the diplomatic community, including the EU, US, UK, China and India, discuss the future of global trust.
Russia is notably absent.
Coincidence?
Or perhaps some absences speak louder than speeches.

👏 Congratulations to @KrysteenSavane of @AOnefineday in Kibera for being recognized as one of #mashujaa (heroes) by HE President of Kenya W. Ruto! Her energy & dedication are addictive ♥️. Proud of our collaboration on Czech 🇨🇿 & Kenyan 🇰🇪 heroines, now displayed at 🇨🇿 Embassy.

Thank you, Ambassador Maurice Makoloo, for the honesty, depth and humanity you brought to our conversation on government trust. Your candour stayed with me. Perhaps the greatest strength of leadership lies in humility, honest introspection and the courage to listen. @MMakoloo @UKinKenya #beyondtheballot #trust

My article, “A New Chapter in Kenya–UK Science Diplomacy,” highlights the need to move beyond knowledge exchange towards co-creation, technology transfer and research commercialisation.
Through stronger Kenya–UK partnerships in AI, biotechnology, health, agriculture and clean energy, we can turn research into innovation, innovation into enterprise, and enterprise into jobs and prosperity. Under the leadership of President @WilliamsRuto As Kenya looks beyond Vision 2030, science, technology and innovation must drive our transformation into a competitive, resilient, knowledge-based economy. @koske_felix @pthigo @SingoeiAKorir @MMakoloo @nacosti @nrfkenya @KENIAupdates @MusaliaMudavadi @OfficePCS_KE @FCDOGovUK @wellcometrust @ScienceRI_Kenya @ISC @KenyaMissionUK @Afroscientist @ucl
