What a pathetic rant. Likea small kid throwing tantrums. Millions more deserving are denied visas to various countries around the world. Visa is not an ENTITLEMENT. Tabia mbovu ya wa Kenya. Haki yetu syndrome.

Each country has the right to make it's own decision on who it allows in and who it does not allow.

UK has an apeal process for visas denied. William Ruto's daughter was initially denied a student visa to Australia , but latter got it on appeal.

He should either accept and move on or appeal.

It's a sense of self-importance. Read between the lines to see references to his worldly possessions and his sense of entitlement. I wonder what he was going to sell in the UK.

I have applied for and been denied visas to dozens of countries. Apart North Korea, the rest have later relented and granted the visa after I satisfied their requirements. Some of these countries don't have a system worth mentioning and almost randomly process applications without paying much attention to detail. That would explain why ministers of foreign affairs from friendly countries have sometimes been denied visas before senior officers intervene.

Some of these tasks are handled by interns with little experience unless the name rings a bell.

North Korea? I have yet to be denied a visa. I went to Kenya without a visa. Stayed for as long as I want and went home. They didn't seem to care. What could innocent me ever do? These things are subjective sometimes.

Buke was denied a visa to Britain and I was denied a visa to North Korea, largely because of the organization I represented.

I was denied a visa meaning I didn't enter to do anything

I can't imagine you going there for business. What business is there? Were you accompanying Miguna Miguna? He was in North Korea I think...

I want ever more Kenyans to travel to the UK, and to do so in a way that benefits both our countries.

Thanks and I hope some of you found this helpful.
