Kenya’s President, William Ruto, has expressed interest in getting rid of the need for visas in the country.
Mr Ruto said that Kenya was where humans first started, so it wasn’t right to make visitors get visas because they were returning to their “home”.
Not far from where you are right now, scientists found and marked the oldest human remains ever discovered. Basically, this is where humans first started. So, let me greet you and say welcome back to your home. We are thinking about getting rid of the need for visas in a few months. Asking people to have visas when they come back home is not fair. Ruto said this on Monday at the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi, where African and international leaders and delegates were gathered.
Since Ruto became president in September 2022, he has removed visa restrictions for some countries like Eritrea, Djibouti, Comoros, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Indonesia.
President Ruto said before that he wants to remove the rules that make it hard for people from all countries in the African Union to visit.
