UK in Kenya

Fostering dialogue around Britains colonial past.

Earlier this week, we met the Leaduma family, from Samburu, who spoke to us about the impact of British colonial rule on their community.

We are committed to listening, learning and working together as we look forward, whilst addressing our shared past.

From London to East Africa, this year’s RCDS cohort is exploring one of the world’s most strategically important regions 🌍✈️🤝 engaging with partners like the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and strengthening international collaboration.

Together, we’re building the relationships, insight, and leadership needed to navigate today’s complex global challenges.

Tuchape Kazi Sasa!

Today marked an important milestone as Balozi Matt Baugh, UK High Commissioner to Kenya presented his Letters of Credence to H.E. President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi 🇰🇪🇬🇧

This ceremony formally begins the High Commissioner’s mission and reaffirms the strong, enduring partnership between our two countries.

As High Commissioner, Mr Baugh will focus on delivering the Kenya–UK Strategic Partnership, signed in 2025 by President William Ruto and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The partnership is already driving impact—boosting trade, investment, green growth, climate resilience, regional security, and collaboration in science, technology and innovation.
