US Kenya Ambassador resigns after Trump victory
The US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, resigned Wednesday, one week after Donald Trump’s re-election. In a statement, Ambassador Whitman touted some of her achievements to include various trade, health and security agreements that Kenya signed with the United States, including Kenya’s elevation as the first major non-NATO ally in Africa. Barrack Oduor, a political reporter with the People’s Daily of Kenya, tells VOA’s James Butty, Ambassador Whitman’s resignation met a mixed reception on various Kenyan social media platforms for her good work, but also what some Kenyans saw as her failure to criticize President Ruto’s government during the June anti-tax protests.
