Former US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle Mccarter has paid tribute to his late daughter. Mr. McCarter on Saturday got emotional s he remembered their beginnings in Tharaka Nithi.
One sweet memory stood out which he wrote down below;
'One day in Tharaka Nithi when we were young. This sweet little girl changed my life forever. She would be 38 today. Anacheka mbinguni. (She is laughing in heaven.)"
He often spoke Swahili to Kenyans and asked KOT online questions about some words. He even tried out grasping sheng.
The Illinois politician is married to Victoria and lives in Lebanon, Illinois, and has 3 kids, 2 boys and sadly a daughter who passed on.
Their daughter Amber died in 2006 at the age of 21 from what was described as a heroin overdose.
The fluent Swahili-speaking McCarter and his wife Victoria, lived and worked in Kenya for Each1Feed1, a Christian ministry that gives care and education for orphans and widows, in 1987-1988 and built Faith Medical Clinic.
The charitable organisation to date has its offices in Mukothima, Tharaka Nithi County, where Carter is currently its international director and Victoria is the director.
The envoy served in Kenya between 2019-2021 as the US Ambassador.
The United States Senate confirmed McCarter by voice vote on January 2, 2019. He presented his credentials to President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 12, 2019. He left office on January 20, 2021.
