Boorish Kenyan diplomats in Paris cost French goodwill, loans
Loutish behavior, combined with feuds and violence at home, took a toll on friendly and financial ties
In Summary
• The delegation that accompanied the President to Paris exposed the ugly side of Kenya's diplomacy, or uncouth behaviour, with diplomatic ramifications.

The delegation that accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to Paris has exposed the ugly side of Kenya’s diplomacy after it emerged that the empty bowl was courtesy of their gross misdemeanors.
Our snitch intimates a senior official in tow could barely be recognized by the hosts and blundered further by turning up for the dinner an hour late. Things got worse as they took to the famous streets of Paris with mean-looking bodyguards, shopping until the wee hours much to the bewilderment of the citizens.
The mishaps are said to have infuriated their hosts who contemptuously slammed the doors and rejected the appeal for loans and deals.
Of course, the feuding and instability in Kenya didn't help.
