Nairobi, Kenya - President William Ruto has announced a crackdown on illegal traders in Kenya, responding to complaints from local merchants about competition from foreign businesses operating in the nation's retail sector. At a meeting with small traders at State House, the President directed the State Department for Industry Principal Secretary Juma Mukhwana and Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui to enforce the law against unauthorized traders.
President Ruto further revealed that the Parliament is currently working on a bill that will limit the ability of foreigners to engage in certain trades within the country. He stated, "There are businesses that Kenyans are not permitted to undertake in Kenya. We are prepared with a parliamentary initiative regarding business matters.
In this bill, we advocate for the prohibition of certain businesses for Kenyans." This legislative effort aims to address the concerns of local traders who have long been facing competition from foreign traders, particularly those from Burundi, Somalia, Tanzania, and other neighboring countries.
