Kenya has acquired a Sh2 billion office space in New York as part of a plan that will see taxpayers shoulder a Sh6.9 billion burden over the next three years to buy properties for the country’s diplomats and embassies in different world capitals.

The Foreign Affairs ministry made the purchase public through documents tabled in Parliament last week.
Kenya’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations has assumed ownership of the property it had leased for many years.
