Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs Korir Sing’Oei has warned Kenyans especially those flying in and out of the country to be careful not to get involved in drug trafficking businesses.
In a fresh update issued on Friday, PS Sing’Oei indicated that, so far, the Kenyan delegation had landed in Vietnam through Bankok and that, already, had a meeting with the distressed Margaret Nduta who is held in Vietnam.
“Pleased to update that our team from Bankok finally secured travel visas and made it to Hoi Chin Mihn Prison in Vietnam where Margaret Nduta is presently held. We can confirm that while deeply distressed, Margaret is coping and has been treated humanely.
“Kenyans are strongly advised not to get tempted or lured into any form of drug or human trafficking. It is an extremely dangerous and costly misadventure,” he added.
The Ps noted that, though, Margaret was not represented by any counsel during her entire trial period, an Appeal filed a few days ago will be heard soon.
In the meantime, Korir said, government and the rest of the country continues to engage with Vietnamese counterparts on other options towards resolving this difficult matter.
