Former State House spokesperson, Manoah Esipisu, is a man with an impressive resume behind him. After graduating with a degree in Literature and Political Science from the University of Nairobi, Esipisu went on to work for Thomson Reuters, and later became the spokesperson for the Commonwealth Secretariat. He has even served as an adviser to the president of the African Development Bank.
With such a remarkable CV, when journalist Kanze Dena took over from him as State House spokesperson, it was assumed that his new role as High Commissioner for Kenya in the United Kingdom, entailed equally, if not more distinguished and respectable role than his previous ones.
However, following a recent tweet by His Excellency Esipisu, questions are now arising as to what exactly are Esipisu’s roles in London.
In the tweet, Esipisu captions the picture of local Kenya brew, Muratina, held in an elegant bottle, with promotional marketing words. He escorts the picture with glowing terms, leaving his followers uncertain as to whether this is his new role.
The tweet, on May 9th, on his Twitter handle @MEsipisu, read;
#From KenyaToTheWorld. Now available on UK supermarket shelves is the central Kenya traditional alcoholic drink ‘Muratina’, bottled in the UK by Othaya-born businessman King’ori Wambaki, now of Cheshunt, north of London, who is targeting expansion of Kenyan products in UK market.”
This comes at a time when Kenya is set to spend Sh1 billion on its new London embassy in the year starting July as the country races to stop paying rent in Western capitals, underlining the taxpayers’ burden of running the foreign missions.
Budget estimates tabled in Parliament show that the Treasury has allocated Sh1 billion to purchase the property that will replace the reportedly dilapidated embassy that has seen taxpayers lease space to accommodate the diplomatic missions.
