"Lastly I would like to thank my President for asking me to come to London and for my government for supporting me throughout this period," he added.
Esipisu who is set to be replaced by Catherine Kirumba Karemu has been instrumental in fostering cooperation among Kenyans living, working and even those visiting London.
Throughout his tenure, he has also overseen the sprout of new businesses owned by Kenyans in various parts of the UK.
More Kenyans have also earned employment opportunities and scholarships through Esipisu's guidance.
The award thus sums up his successful tenure as Kenya's High Commissioner in the UK.
"Delighted and honoured to be awarded 2024 Diplomat of the Year from Africa at the glittering London Diplomatic Corps event hosted by Diplomat London. Award underlined recognition of Kenya's work building strong bilateral relations and leadership on global issues," he further wrote.
