Former Cabinet Secretary Mukhisa Kituyi has raised concerns over President William Ruto's recent directive targeting foreign traders, warning that it could jeopardize national security. Kituyi expressed fears that the policy might lead to increased smuggling and illegal activities, undermining Kenya's efforts to maintain order. The directive, aimed at regulating foreign traders, has sparked debate among officials and business leaders. Some argue the policy could disrupt economic growth, while others support it as a necessary measure to protect local markets. The government has not yet provided detailed guidelines on how the policy will be implemented.
