@Refigah_ “Regulation, not expulsion.” That line alone is policy gold. Identification + tax + dignity is a win-win framework. Hope someone in State House is reading.
MY POSITION ON H.E. PRESIDENT RUTO'S DIRECTIVE ON FOREIGN SMALL TRADERS.
I listened keenly to the President's directive. While I respect his commitment to protecting Kenyan businesses, as a Pan-Africanist, I must respectfully disagree with blanket exclusion.
Here is why: 🧵
President @WilliamsRuto's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda is reshaping how Kenya's MSME economy is financed and supported.
Traders, Jua Kali artisans, farmers and cooperatives are being systematically capitalized through NYOTA.
Over 101,000 young entrepreneurs across all 47 counties have already received their first funding tranche, turning training into real business capital and household income.
34 County Aggregation and Industrial Parks are currently under development at different implementation stages.
Each park is designed around a county's specific value chains, giving local producers, processors and manufacturers shared infrastructure instead of operating in isolation.
The Rural Kenya Financial Inclusion Facility will receive KES 1.1 billion in the FY 2026/27 Budget.
This funding is targeted specifically at expanding access to financing within rural productive economies, where traders and small producers have historically struggled to reach formal credit and savings products.
