As a young man living in the village, there was one thing I dreamt about: ‘meeting with a king’. Amazingly, this dream was realised on Thursday, October 13, 2022, when I met King Philippe of Belgium to formally present my credentials as Kenya’s Ambassador to Belgium.
The meticulous preparation to meet the King started early. The protocol office gave detailed instructions on what to wear and what to do on the day of the event. As required, my colleagues from the office and I rented long-tailed tuxedos for the occasion.
