Nic Hailey lashes out at Business Daily for fake news

The British High commissioner to Kenya Nic Hailey has lashed out at Business Daily for writing unverified article in their publication.

While taking to his twitter account,” .@BD_Africa this is entirely inaccurate. Deal or no deal, the UK will ensure Kenya retains duty-free, quota-free access for exports to the UK. We have made this clear to Kenyan exporters & will keep them briefed. Ask us @UKinKenya before printing wrong stuff

The High Commissioner was responding to a story that had appeared on the paper’s revealing that the country was set to lose up to Ksh2 Billion if Britain exited the European Union without a deal.

Hailey reassured the country that no matter the outcome, Kenya would maintain a duty-free and quota-free access for exports to the UK.

The paper further revealed that if that happened, it would make the country one of the worst hit economies in Africa.
