The US hasn't been paying much attention to Africa and treated it as an afterthought for some reason ("Black continent?"). There has been a sudden interest especially due to China's influence in the region which happens to be the most resource rich on the planet.

It’s always about “countering China” blah blah blah

He later served as Lead Counsel for Deputy President of Kenya William Ruto 

Acting president
On 6 October 2014, Ruto was appointed acting president of Kenya by the then President Uhuru Kenyatta following his summons to appear before the ICC. He served in the role between 6 and 9 October 2014 while President Kenyatta was away at The Hague. When he officially handed over power to Ruto at the Parliament on October 6, Uhuru explained, "To protect the sovereignty of the Republic of Kenya, I will sign a legal notice appointing Hon William Ruto as acting president while I attend the status conference."[36]

In the August 2017 General Elections, Uhuru and Ruto were declared victors after garnering

54% of the total votes cast. However, the Supreme Court of Kenya nullified the election, and a fresh election was held in October 2017. The opposition boycotted the fresh election and Uhuru and Ruto were re-elected with 98% of the total votes cast. The Supreme Court upheld the results of this second election.
