Why Amisi asked Whitman to keep off 2022 election talks

Amisi visits came barely 2 months after he asked the US convoy to keep off the August 2022 general elections talk.

He said her interference with country's politics would affect her diplomatic duties in the country assigned to her.

"Dear @USAmbKenya, we love you so much, but here in Kenya, when you lose @RailaOdinga, you lose an 80% score on your diplomatic mission. Raila is what your friends' Britons call a "ceremonial president," Amisi said

Caleb dismissed Kindiki's calls on arresting hecklers

In 2023, Amisi called out Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki call on youths who had heckled at President William Ruto be arrested.

He argued that heckling was a job for many youths due to unemployment, they are contracted by leaders, which provides food for their families.

Amisi said it is a side-hustle for youths, and they should be paid more.

Raila meets Meg Whitman

In April, Azimio One Kenya Alliance leader Raila Odinga met with European Diplomats, including US Ambassador Meg Whitman.

Odinga said he had met them to discuss issues affecting the continent, and further strengthen his African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship.
