The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has warned the Government against unlawful enforcement of immigration and business regulations targeting foreign nationals amid growing uncertainty among migrant communities.
The commission said enforcement agencies must apply the law fairly and without discrimination based on nationality while ensuring affected people receive due process.
“Given Kenya’s role as a host to migrants and refugees from diverse backgrounds, all migration-related measures and enforcement interventions must be implemented lawfully, fairly, consistently and without discrimination on the basis of nationality,” the commission said in a statement Tuesday.
