Kenya's former UN envoy, Martin Kimani, criticized the US for offering unwanted advice on governance while focusing on its own global issues like the Gaza conflict.

Kenya's former UN envoy, Martin Kimani, rebuked the US government for offering unsolicited advice on governance issues, despite Nairobi agreeing with the call for vetting Cabinet secretaries with tainted integrity. The US Embassy's statement was seen as aligning with the Kenyan constitution by Dr. Korir Sing'oei, Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs. However, Kimani viewed the comments as a distraction from Washington's own global failures, including the ongoing war in Gaza. He called for the US to focus on renewing its democracy and delivering a ceasefire in Gaza rather than lecturing Kenya.
