US Ambassador to Kenya, Kyle McCarter

United States ambassador Kyle McCarter has said that his nation's government will support the BBI report.

Mr McCarter said the report was a good document that will make Kenya more united once its recommendations are implemented.

“The United States is a great friend of Kenya and although I do not agree with all details in the BBI, the USA fully supports it for Kenya to remain a united country," he said.
