Kenya declară război micilor comercianți din afara țării. Președintele William Ruto le-a cerut să-și închidă afacerile

The President of Kenya, William Ruto, has ordered foreign small traders to close their businesses, citing competition with local entrepreneurs. He plans to expedite legislation restricting foreign ownership in certain sectors. Ruto emphasized that while Kenya welcomes foreign investment, it should create jobs for locals rather than compete with them. The announcement comes amid rising tensions regarding the presence of foreign migrants in Kenya's informal economy. Although the exact number of affected foreign traders is unclear, the situation has sparked concerns about xenophobia and competition for limited job opportunities. Past incidents have highlighted conflicts between locals and foreign workers, raising questions about the treatment of migrants in the region.
