A crackdown against foreign nationals engaging in small-scale hawking and trading activities in the country is set for today as the government moves to protect local traders from unfair competition. The crackdown was ordered by President William Ruto who referenced to concerns raised local traders that some foreigners had set up businesses selling items such as duvets and other merchandise, competing directly with local hawkers and small-scale traders. A section of the traders have asked the State to reconsider the order to flush them out.
