President William Ruto has ordered a crackdown on foreigners operating small businesses in Kenya, directing the government to begin the exercise next Monday. Speaking while hosting MSME traders at State House, Ruto said foreigners engaged in small-scale trade would be shut down, arguing such businesses should be reserved for Kenyans. He said the parliament is also considering the Local Content Bill, 2025, and amendments to the Public Procurement Act to promote local hiring and restrict foreign participation in selected sectors.
