90 Illegal Immigrants Arrested as Swoop Continues Across Kenya
Police have arrested close to 100 immigrants in various operations as the government intensifies crackdown on illegal foreigners in Kenya.
The swoop comes after recent orders by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i who wants the aliens removed from the country before the end of November.
In an operation in Eldoret town, police nabbed 42 immigrants from different countries including Sudan, Uganda, Egypt and Nigeria.
"Following the ongoing operation on illegal immigrants as per the directive given by Interior CS Fred Matiangi, we arrested 42 immigrants, most of them operating different businesses in town without the required documents,’’ Eldoret OCPD Richard Omanga said.
The foreigners will remain in custody of police pending vetting by a multi-agency task force. “The operation will continue until all illegal immigrants are arrested,” said Omanga.
In a similar swoop, Eastern Regional Security committee arrested 50 illegal immigrants from various countries masquerading as small traders.
“Most of them come here only to become a security threat without the knowledge of the public. We arrested some who were pretending to be in the business of selling electronics eg, Chinese gambling machines among others. One of them had been integrated into a village football club in Makueni County. Others had gotten residences deep in the rural areas. We are coming for you,” warned Eastern Regional Coordinator Wycliffe Ogallo.

Ndugu Matiang'i: Usisahau ya kwamba, ulimfukuza mzalendo mzaliwa wa Kenya Ndugu Miguna Miguna na kumpeleka katika nchi ambayo yeye mwenyewe hakutaka kwenda!
Nakuomba ufuate maagizo uliyopewa na mahakma ya Kenya na kumpa pasipoti yake ma kumrudisha nyumbani alikozaliwa mara moja. Tabia yako ni kama ya ndugu zetu wa "Mungiki." Watu hawa hawafuati kama sheria za nchi.
Nakuomba ufuate mfumo ulio katika nchi ya Israel unaosema ya kwamba, Myahudi popote alipo duniani ni raia wa nchi ya Israel. Kwa hiyo, nawe ujue ya kwamba, mtu yeyote aliye na damu ya Kenya, ni Mkenya popote alipo duniani.
Kusema kweli, sijui unafanya kazi gani katika serikali ya Kenya kutokana na kutotii kanuni ulizopewa na mahakma ya Kenya kuhusu Nduyu yetu Miguna Miguna.
Baada ya 2022, wewe pamoja na ndugu yako Kihalangwa mtashikwa na kupelekwa kortini kwa uhalifu mliomfanyia Miguna. Mtu ambaye hafuati wala kutii kanuni za mahakma ya Kenya hafai kufanya kazi na serikali yetu.
