She further stressed that at the heart of this policy is the recognition of the diaspora as a vital asset in advancing Kenya’s economic and diplomatic objectives.

The PS reiterated the Government’s dedication, through the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, to promoting the welfare and prosperity of Kenyans abroad by implementing initiatives in line with the Bottom-Up Transformation Agenda (BETA) that protect, engage, empower, and support the diaspora community.
