It's a formal process where they present letters of appointment from their heads of state. These letters essentially request that the receiving government fully recognise and trust the ambassadors' communications and actions on behalf of their countries.
Ruto received diplomatic papers from ambassadors including Anouar Ben Youssef (Tunisia), Patricio Alberto Aguirre Vacchieri (Chile), Romy Sonia Tincopa Grados (Peru), and Luis Alejandro Levit (Argentina).
The others were Sabit Subasic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Joan Thomas Edwards, the High Commissioner of Jamaica. These are diplomats whose official residences are located in other countries so they will not be stationed in Nairobi.
The Bosnian envoy will handle relations with Nairobi from Cairo, while the Jamaican ambassador will operate from Pretoria, South Africa, where she has a permanent residence.
