SAD!!. Vietnam has replied to Kenya on Margate Nduta who was arrested for drug trafficking

This situation is part of broader Kenya-Vietnam relations, with historical context showing cordial ties but no resident ambassadors, and Vietnam's legal system is known for harsh penalties on drug trafficking, as highlighted in related news about Nduta's arrest in 2023 at Ho Chi Minh City Airport with over 2kg of cocaine.

Vietnam government responds to Kenya

"We understand that you sympathise with your citizen, our stand and laws on drugs and corruption are severe. They apply fully to everyone who breaks them, including our own Vietnamese. As a leader of Vietnam, I dont interfere when courts sentence even Vietnam drug dealers. It’s not a matter of citizenship but it’s a matter of the killer substances you are bringing to our children."
