Previously, she had called out Belgium government over what she called extortion of money from her family who had made attempts of visiting her.
She clarified that her family members were denied visas even after paying for the excess charges.
“Despite paying for the express visa services, the embassy had failed to issue them with the travel documents and was not responding to their petitions, 27 days after application,’’ Linda stated.
According to Bonyo, the Belgium Ambassador to Kenya had gone against the law by automating his calls and remaining unreachable.
Consequently, she called for immediate action against the diplomat adding that the Embassy was taking advantage of her desperate situation.
