The Kenyan government is reconsidering its rescue policy for citizens who voluntarily go to troubled countries abroad, citing strain on resources and erosion of accountability. This comes as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs updated its efforts to repatriate Kenyans caught in Myanmar's swindling rings.

• The government directed families of Kenyans still awaiting repatriation to procure return tickets independently.
• 119 Kenyans have been repatriated from Myanmar, with 198 Kenyans awaiting repatriation (66 in Thailand's IDC and 129 in Myanmar shelters).
• Many seeking repatriation entered Thailand on tourist visas, ignoring the "employment prohibited" endorsement.
• The Ministry warns that government-funded rescues for those knowingly engaging in unlawful activities risk moral hazard.
• Upon arrival, repatriated Kenyans are interviewed by the DCI's Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU).
