Kenya has officially pressed Uganda for answers regarding the whereabouts of two abducted Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, who were seized by armed men in Kampala on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. The activists were in Uganda for a meeting with National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi. In a separate diplomatic development, Kenya has been spared from a ban implemented by Tanzania on 15 business activities conducted by foreigners following constructive dialogue between the two governments. Meanwhile, the Indian government is deporting several Kenyan women who were discovered in a Powai hotel with expired tourist visas during a surprise check by authorities.
