Kenya sets up new immigration rules to protect local jobs

Kenya has decided to issue fewer work permits to foreign workers in an attempt to boost employment for young Kenyans.

Kenya has shut the door on foreigners seeking permits for jobs that pay less than US$24,000 per year.

The new regulations are particularly targeted at foreigners holding jobs that can be handled by Kenya citizens.

There will also be a cap at the high end of the income scale: foreign medical, accounting, engineering, legal and real-estate professionals are banned
