Sometime last year, President William Ruto made a declaration that Kenya would be a visa-free regime for all countries in the world. That was a bold move.
Kenyans expected that the government would actualise this directive and ensure a balance between security and facilitation was maintained as has been the case when we operated on a visa regime. In January, the government rolled out the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) system, and for about one month, the new visa-free regime has been working.
