Is your home country represented in Kenya? And if it is not, do you find this is a problem?

We have just posted online a piece about the importance of diplomatic representation in your host country while living abroad. Do let us know whether you think it is absolutely essential and share your experience about diplomacy in Kenya.

Have a great week,

The UK is represented in Nairobi (High Commission), but apart from perhaps issuing temporary travel documents, if your passport is lost, or renewing passports for those Brits living in Kenya, they're not much help at all. The UK tends to have a 'hands off' approach when it comes to UK citizens who might be in trouble.
