United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer is scheduled to visit Kenya in the coming weeks.
Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has recently revealed that he held a meeting with UK High Commissioner to Kenya, Neil Wigan to prepare for Starmer’s visit.
According to Omollo, during the meeting they discussed key areas of security cooperation, centering on cybersecurity collaboration and police reforms.

“In preparation for the UK Prime Minister’s official visit to Kenya, I met with the UK High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E. Neil Wigan, to discuss key areas of security cooperation. Our engagement centred on enhancing cybersecurity collaboration and supporting ongoing police reforms, both critical pillars of the UK-Kenya Security Compact,” PS Omollo stated.
The scheduled visit comes nearly a year and a half after King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited Kenya.
Moreover, Starmer’s planned visit to Kenya also comes at a time when the UK government has announced the closure of its overseas recruitment route for social care workers.
In a statement on Monday, the UK government said the decision is aimed at overhauling the adult social care sector.
