CNN journalist Larry Madowo has criticized Nigeria for charging Kenyan citizens costly visa fees, highlighting a disparity with Kenya's visa-free policy for Nigerian nationals.

• Larry Madowo was charged approximately Ksh 10,332 ($80) for a single-entry Nigerian visa, despite Nigerians enjoying visa-free entry into Kenya since July 2025.
• The journalist also noted additional charges for online applications, significantly exceeding the base visa fee of around Ksh 3,200 ($25).
• President William Ruto's administration implemented a nationwide visa-free policy for all African countries entering Kenya, aiming to boost tourism and regional integration.
