Kenyan businesses must be protected, but our response must be guided by law, fairness and economic sense.
Every Kenyan deserves a fair opportunity to earn and grow a business. At the same time, foreign nationals who contribute positively to our economy should be treated with dignity and given a clear legal framework to operate.
The solution is not xenophobia. The solution is enforcement of the law, fair competition and deliberate policies that put Kenyan livelihoods and local enterprise at the centre of our economic agenda.
Let us protect Kenyan jobs without losing our humanity.
