Kenyan Diaspora in Seattle

Amb. Lazarus Amayo held a meeting with Kenyan Diaspora living in Seattle, Washington State where he outlined services offered by the Embassy, the Government Diaspora Policies, & ways of collaboration in advancing Kenya’s interest abroad.

While underscoring the pivotal role the Diaspora plays in economic development, Amb. Amayo asked them to take advantage of the prevailing investment climate in Kenya & invest in various sectors brought about by Devolution, the Big 4 Agenda & Kenya Vision 2030.

The members of Diaspora thanked the Embassy and the government of Kenya for the continued support. They however, expressed the need for the government to consider opening up a consulate in Seattle to bring services closer to them given that DC, LA & NY offices were far.
