United Kingdom's High Commissioner to Kenya Nic Hailey has come under heavy criticism from a section of Kenyans after congratulating the outgoing United States' Ambassador Robert Bob Godec.
The United States Embassy had earlier on Thursday revealed that the long-serving Godec would be replaced by Illinois State Senator Kyle McCarter.
Hailey took the chance to applaud Godec expressing that his commitment to the betterment of Kenya was a remarkable achievement of his tenure as Washington's envoy to Nairobi.

"Trolls gonna troll, haters gonna hate. But no one who has met my fellow envoy Bob Godec could question his deep and untiring commitment to Kenya, the Kenyan people and the values and institutions that make Kenya strong. He will be missed," Hailey tweeted.
This message angered a section of netizens who hit hard at both Godec and Hailey with some telling the UK envoy that he should have met the same fate as Godec.
