 Kenya orders closure of small-scale businesses owned by foreigners Kenyan President William Ruto ordered authorities to begin shutting down small businesses operated by foreign nationals from Monday, Sept. 7, saying hawking and small-scale retail should be reserved for Kenyans. Speaking to micro, small and medium enterprise traders at State House in Nairobi, Ruto said Kenya welcomes foreign investment but argued that foreigners should not compete with citizens in businesses requiring little capital. "From next week, all traders doing those small businesses should close them," Ruto said, Anadolu Agency reported. "We have made efforts to improve the economy, we have not improved investor confidence for hawkers to come to Kenya," he added. ‘Prioritising Kenyan citizens’ Ruto said the government would push ahead with legislation aimed at defining areas of economic activity that should prioritise Kenyan citizens.

 ‘I have gone back to our family ’-Gov Fubara says as he declares support for Wike’s governorship candidate


The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared his support for the governorship candidate backed by the Rainbow Coalition that is being led by his predecessor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.


Fubara spoke on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Rivers Medical Industries Project in Port Harcourt, where he endorsed Kingsley Chinda, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as his preferred successor.


“We have made peace in the state, and we have a total agreement. I am supporting our rainbow party, our rainbow coalition. President Bola Tinubu is our president and is the one we are supporting.


OK Chinda is the governorship candidate that I am supporting, and anybody who believes in me will support him and every candidate under the rainbow.


For those of you saying, ‘Fubara, let’s stay, we want to collect something before we run,’ there is nothing to collect. I am already in the family. I have gone back to our family. So please, wherever you are, give your total support to that coalition.”he said 


Chinda was declared the winner of the APC governorship primary after polling 268,497 during the exercise in May.


Fubara was initially screened alongside Chinda for the APC governorship primary but later stepped down from the race, saying he made the decision out of conviction and sacrifice for the peace and unity of Rivers state.


The APC screening committee reportedly disqualified several of Fubara’s allies from the Rivers State House of Assembly primaries while clearing aspirants loyal to Wike.


Fubara and Wike had been locked in a prolonged political feud that triggered efforts by lawmakers loyal to the FCT minister to impeach the governor before both camps eventually reached a political truce.
