Members of Parliament have expressed strong condemnation over the perceived incompetence and unresponsiveness of the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, led by Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu. MPs cited persistent delays in receiving responses to crucial inquiries regarding the welfare and safety of Kenyans abroad.

• The department is accused of failing to adequately address urgent concerns, including the death of a Kenyan woman in Australia shortly after her arrival.
• MPs highlighted the significant economic contribution of diaspora remittances, estimated at Sh650 billion annually, emphasizing the need for better support.
• A proposal was made to summon the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs to Parliament to answer for the alleged delays and lack of action.
