Kenya's visa waiver policy draws mixed responses

Opinions are divided in Kenya as the country's civil aviation authority lays down the rules to govern the visa-free entry policy.

Despite travelers from other countries welcoming the move and urging other African countries to follow suit, a number of Kenyans feel the decision was rushed and might open the borders to unwelcome visitors.

President William Ruto announced in December that Kenya would become a "visa-free country "and existing requirements would be waived come January.
