[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

This morning the Government of Kenya began enforcing a crackdown against immigrant small traders, using a law that does not exist.

It is merely based on a September announcement by President Ruto that hawking and small-scale retail would be reserved for Kenyans, with enforcement from 7 September. In the same address he directed Parliament to accelerate the Local Content Bill, 2025. That Bill has not been passed.

A directive read at State House does not amend the Constitution, and it does not release Kenya from the East African Community (EAC) Common Market Protocol, which explicitly guarantees the free movement of persons, labor, and goods.

We cannot profess to lead a regional Jumuiya while simultaneously subverting its foundational frameworks, and President Ruto cannot purport to credibly champion continental initiatives, while simultaneously inciting domestic actions that subvert the tenets of Pan-Africanism.

Kenyan traders are drowning, and that pain is real. But close every foreign-run stall tomorrow and the price of maize does not move by one shilling, because the cartel that sets it is Kenyan and it has friends in government.

What killed Kenyan small businesses this year is a matter of public record: pending bills the state refuses to pay, county licence fees that rise without service, credit no trader can carry, and a revenue authority that pursues a mama mboga while fortunes leave the port undeclared.

The Government’s own figures show foreign nationals were about 1.6 per cent of the workforce in foreign-invested enterprises in 2024. This was never where the jobs went. A government that cannot give you a market will always offer you an enemy to blame. This is scapegoat policy.

It is unconscionable for a regime to actively export young Kenyans as low-wage laborers abroad while its leaders profiteer from private ownership of labor externalization firms, only to turn around and criminalize fellow Africans seeking a modest livelihood within our borders.

Ruto's "Bottom-Up" economic framework promised to ordinary hustlers has instead yielded record youth unemployment, unlawful abductions, and a tragic loss of life.

To saddle this nation with an astounding Ksh 5 Trillion in debt over a mere four years, with no tangible, worthwhile results to show for it, and then appear to blame small scale traders from Jumuiya for the economic mess is a disingenuous move.

The primary catalyst for the extreme economic misery witnessed on Kenyan streets today sits in the highest office of the Executive.

It is a gross betrayal of trust to look the Kenyan poor in the eye and pretend to protect them through xenophobic crackdowns, while simultaneously overseeing a systemic, annual loss of over Ksh 1 Trillion to state-sanctioned
corruption and wastage including the Ksh 33 Billion spent by Ruto, well above the budgetary allocation for State House.

A government that is at the forefront of propagating xenophobia will not hesitate to turn those same divisive tactics against its own citizens along ethnic, religious, or other identity lines.

Kenyans will not fall for this cheap diversionary and divisive tactics.

Under my leadership, we will respect our legal and regional commitments, and account for the resources of the Kenyan people.

We must be a country confident in our ability to solves our problems internally while looking Africaward for the friends we need in forging global strength. #Ukombozi

@KenyaGovernors have you seen the statistics for the month of August regarding the mothers and babies who have died as a result of the ongoing nurses strike? Mombasa is top in the list and your chair is the governor there. Thumps up.
