I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations regarding the visa-free requirement for persons travelling to Kenya with the visa free policy. In the statement, the committee should: (1) Outline the regulatory and oversight measures the State Department for Immigration and Citizen Service has put in place to ensure that visa-free policy is not abused and does not pose security risks to the country. (2) Provide a statistical analysis detailing the impact the policy has had on trade, industrialization, and tourism sectors in the country. (3) Disclose the total revenue generated by the Government since the commencement of the policy on 1st January,2024. (4) State measures put in place to ensure compliance by travelers with the requirements of entry into Kenya. (5) Explain the challenges in operationalizing the policy, such as reiterations from countries that previously enjoyed visa exemptions to enter Kenya and the measures in place to address such challenges."
