 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.

 GOVERNOR SOLUDO PRESENTS CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION TO NSUGBE AND ADAZI-NNUKWU MORNACHS AS ANAMBRA MOVES TO OVERHAUL COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE


By Christian ABURIME


Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR has declared that permanent peace is a non-negotiable prerequisite for grassroot development, charging newly recognized traditional rulers to act as impartial fathers to all members of their respective domains.


Speaking at the Light House, Awka during the presentation of certificates of recognition to the Traditional Ruler of Nsugbe and Adazi-Nnukwu, Igwe John Nzekwesili Nweke and Igwe Aethelbirth Muoka respectively, the Governor offered both congratulations and commiserations and acknowledged the challenges of leadership, noting that opposition to authority is a long-standing reality. He urged the monarchs to make every effort to ensure peace, emphasizing that they are now the fathers of all, embracing both supporters and critics alike.


Highlighting systemic issues in grassroots administration, Governor Soludo revealed that the state is working on a New Community Administration Law designed to birth structured community governance. He pointed out that communities are currently governed by voluntary town unions registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission, a system that has led to multiple rival factions and endless court cases regarding leadership and traditional rulership. Contrasting this with higher tiers of government, the Governor remarked that factions only exist in communities because they are run by voluntary associations.


Governor Soludo enjoined veteran traditional rulers to guide the new entrants as the state works to evolve a new society through a bottom-up approach that will put Anambra communities on the global map.


Earlier, the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Barr. Ifeanyi Ezeaka, remarked that both traditional rulers went through due process of law at the selection level.


"These new leaders are the first to be presented in Mr Governor second tenure, following twelve traditional rulers recognized during his first term, transitioning from the communities through the local government authorities before receiving final state approval.


Speaking to the media, the two traditional rulers assured the public of harmonizing their people to enthrone peace in their respective communities.


The event was also witnessed by the Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers' Council, Igwe Chidubem Iweka, alongside the Presidents-General of both communities.
