O’neill and a fellow embassy official are likely to have an array of vehicles at their disposal but they made the journey via ox cart.
“Access to the school difficult due to recent rains / muddy road no problem via Ox Cart!” he explained in a tweet the choice of transport.
Finally, he joined the opening of a wing of St Patrick’s Primary School Kawese, Mukeini County, the facility has support from Irish organization Kenya Child Foundation.
