Ruto Issues New Directives on Foreigners Operating Small Businesses in Kenya

The Kenyan government has granted a 90-day reprieve to foreigners operating small businesses to regularize their immigration, work permit, and business registration status before stricter enforcement begins. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) raised concerns over this directive, calling for a rights-based approach in the enforcement of immigration regulations. Meanwhile, Kenya is looking to increase maize imports from Uganda despite concerns over aflatoxin levels.
