Ruto's Government Makes U-Turn, Gives Foreign Traders 90 Days to Fix Their Legal Status
President William Ruto's administration has granted foreign traders a 90-day window to regularize their legal status in Kenya, representing a significant policy shift. The number of Burundian citizens flocking to their embassy in Nairobi continues to rise, with many spending the night as they await travel documents to return home.
