A Chinese national has been arrested in Nairobi's Gikomba market after the Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) seized 65,000 counterfeit socks and apparel valued at an estimated Sh50 million. This action is part of a pre-holiday crackdown on counterfeit goods. In a separate development, Kenya secured the Vice Chair position of the International Telecommunication Union’s Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG) at the World Telecommunication Development Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. This marks the second time Kenya has held this role, enhancing its influence in global ICT governance. Additionally, Kenya is hosting the 2025 Kenya Trade and Investment Roadshow in Nairobi. The event has attracted over 300 investors and policymakers from 35 countries, aiming to position Kenya as the commercial gateway to East and Central African markets.
