Kenyans on Twitter have taken a swipe at officials who went for a meeting at the White House without notebooks.
A picture that was sent from the White House showed the officials having tea but had no notebooks.
Only President Uhuru Kenyatta and Trade PS Chris Kiptoo seemed more interested in taking notes than having White House tea.
The US government officials not only had tea, they had notebooks too ready for the bilateral meeting between Uhuru and US President Donald Trump.
