Kenya's President William Ruto ordered the closure of small foreign trader businesses in the country. The measure was announced today and sets Monday as the deadline for these establishments to cease their activities.
The order specifically covers small businesses run by foreigners, without specifying which nationalities are affected by the measure. The Kenyan government has not yet revealed the official reasons for this decision.
This measure comes in the context of policies regulating domestic trade in Kenya, where authorities have been implementing stricter rules on the participation of non-Kenyans in certain commercial sectors. Compliance with the order will be monitored starting Monday.
