Is US Ambassador to Kenya Godec on his way out?

US Ambassador to Kenya, Robert Godec, on Thursday morning raised speculation that he could be on his way out of the position he has held for the past five years.

While celebrating Thanksgiving Day – a public holiday marked on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States – Godec said he is thankful for the “opportunity to have served as US Ambassador in Kenya”, a statement that could be understood to mean his tenure is on the homestretch. He has denied he is leaving the country several times in the past.

“I am grateful for the many wonderful people and things and my life – especially my own family, starting with my extraordinary wife Lori. I am thankful, too, for the opportunity to have served as US Ambassador here for the past five years and all the wonderful people of Kenya I’ve met during my stay,” said Godec, in a Thanksgiving Day message.

“I am also grateful for the ongoing partnership of over 50 years between Kenya and United States.”

Thanksgiving Day is traced back to the first bountiful harvest in the 1600s celebrated between early European settlers and Native Americans.

The day provides an opportunity for people to come together and give thanks for the countless blessings they have received over time.

When celebrating Thanksgiving Day, families share dinner most often of turkey and many side dishes as they come together for gratitude and reflection. In line with this keeping, Godec today shared Turkey cuisine with various groups.
