Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary (PS) Korir Sing'oei has criticised Saboti Constituency Member of Parliament MP Caleb Amisi for comments he made alleging that the government was seeking a loan from China and using the Taita Taveta mineral fields as collateral.
The PS termed these remarks by the lawmaker as not only false but also irresponsible for someone in his position as a member of the National Assembly Defence Committee. "Very irresponsible, baseless and misguided assertion from a member of the Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee," PS Sing'oei stated In a social media post, the MP stated that the Chinese government had denied the Kenya Kwanza government this alleged loan.
