The Kenya Embassy in Cairo is one of the earliest missions which were created after Kenya attained her Independence on 12 December 1963. The mission was inaugurated in 1965 with His Excellency Mr. Henry N. Mulli being its first Ambassador. The Kenyan Ambassador, Mr Daniel O. Makdwallo is the official representative of HE President Hon. Mwai Kibaki in Egypt. The ambassador is articulated to the Kenyan Government for all aspects of the relationship between Kenya and countries of accreditation.
The Ambassador, who is based in Cairo, ensures that
Kenyan policies and views are explained to the Egyptian
Government and its people. He also conveys Egyptian
policies to the Kenyan Government. The other equally
important objective of the mission is to promote and
protect the image and interest of Kenya and Kenyans
living in its area of accreditation. The mission is
accredited to Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco,Eritrea
and more recently Jordan.
The mission is made up of a number of key sections or departments as briefly outlined. The Political Section is responsible for maintaining and strengthening the cordial political relationships that exist between Kenya and the countries of accreditation for the mutual benefit of our peoples. Kenya is therefore committed to a strong partnership between her and the countries to which we are accredited to. The Consular Section provides consular including issuance of Kenyan passports. The section is responsible for providing visa and entry clearance services Egyptians and any other foreigners wishing to travel to the Kenya.
The Commercial Section has the responsibility of developing
for enhancing trade and investment between Kenya and
the countries of accreditation, as well as ensuring
promotion of strong business relations. The Administration
Section is responsible for all personnel, financial,
and administrative services and resources and provides
support to all other sections. Lastly but not least,
the Defence Section is responsible for all aspects of
the defence relationship between the Kenya and Egypt.
