Speaking at the event, the Kenyan High Commissioner to Tanzania, Isaack Njenga, expressed his gratitude to the Tanzanian President, Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, for granting the embassy such a significant piece of land.

He noted that the gesture reflects the Tanzanian government’s strong commitment to promoting international relations.

“Many of us have benefited from being allocated sizable plots of land to establish our embassies. These are not small plots, but large enough to accommodate the High Commission’s offices and even residential housing for envoys and their staff. We are truly grateful to the government of Tanzania for this exceptional hospitality,” said High Commissioner Njenga.
