US Embassy’s Pre-Vetting Statement on CS Nominees Ignites Controversy
The U.S. Embassy on Thursday, August 1, ignited a heated debate on social media after issuing a statement ahead of the vetting of cabinet nominees by Parliament.
In the statement, the embassy emphasized the importance of integrity in public service and claimed that Parliament has a key role to play in upholding Chapter Six of the Kenyan Constitution, which provides for leadership and integrity.
“As Kenyans look ahead to the vetting of Cabinet nominees beginning today, we recognize the importance of integrity in public service and the National Assembly’s vital role in upholding Chapter Six of Kenya’s Constitution,” read the statement by the U.S. Embassy.
However, the statement did not go down well with a section of netizens who were quick to call out the American embassy.
A section of netizens called out the embassy to stop meddling with the country’s internal affairs as others wondered what its interest was.
Another section of online users claimed that the U.S. Embassy should not comment on integrity, alleging that it was not upholding it.
