Uganda's Minister for East African Community Affairs, Rebecca Kadaga, has urged Ugandans residing and working in Kenya to formalize their presence by obtaining necessary permits and licenses, clarifying that President William Ruto's directive is for regulation, not expulsion.

The directive aims to ensure foreign traders register and comply with Kenyan laws, not to expel them.
Key individuals involved include Minister Rebecca Kadaga and President William Ruto.
This clarification comes amid confusion and tension following President Ruto's crackdown on unlicensed foreign traders, with Kenyan Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei later apologizing to Burundian nationals.
