The PCS also revealed that he wrote to the Ugandan government requesting the release of Bob Njagi and Oyoo who had been held in Uganda for 38 days.
He also answered claims that former President Uhuru Kenyatta was involved in the release of the activists, Mudavadi saying that if other leaders took part in the process, then the government is thankful for their efforts.
Mudavadi said that the Kenyan government was incharge of the repatriation of the two activists, attesting that the two were helped to return to the country by the Kenyan High Commission in Uganda.
The Diaspora and Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary also urged Kenyans traveling to foreign nations to respect the laws of the country they are traveling to.
The Cabinet Secretary also addressed the challenges facing Kenyans in the diaspora, saying that his ministry is in diplomatic talks with the other nations to ensure the safety of Kenyans living in the diaspora.
Mudavadi insisted on the need for the use of diplomatic channels to solve issues affecting Kenyans living in the diaspora and also while solving regional issues across the continent.
