Kenya

Kenya has confirmed its first imported case of Ebola after a Kenyan citizen who had been living in the Democratic Republic of Congo died in Nairobi, prompting an urgent contact-tracing operation and heightened surveillance at the country's borders.

The Nigerian Exchange Group and the Nairobi Securities Exchange have stepped up efforts to deepen cross-border capital-market cooperation, with stakeholders from both markets exploring ways to improve connections between African exchanges.

The visit was confirmed by Dangote Group, which said its President, Aliko Dangote, would host the Kenyan leader at the Lagos refinery.

Akwaaba Africa Travel Market is taking its Africa-to-Africa tourism campaign to Nairobi, returning as an exhibitor at the 16th Magical Kenya Travel Expo (MKTE) from October 6–8, 2026.

Dangote Group’s planned Kenyan refinery has taken a step towards development with an engineering and project management contract worth more than $450 million, extending a partnership behind its Nigerian refining business.

Dangote Industries is set to take another step into East Africa, with plans for a 1,000-megawatt liquefied natural gas power plant in Kenya that could be supplied with gas from neighbouring Tanzania.

The warning comes as the Kenyan government seeks to balance its drive to attract foreign investment with concerns from local traders who say foreign nationals are increasingly competing with them in small-scale commercial activities.

Ferretto, who previously served in the Catholic parishes of Kasiela and Mochongoi in Baringo South, exchanged marriage vows with Sharon, the daughter of former councillor John Wendot, during a colourful traditional Koito ceremony held at Seretion Village in Kasiela.

Ruto announced the directive during an address to small-scale traders at State House in Nairobi, saying foreigners engaged in such businesses should shut them down from next week.

The warning was issued as the disruption continued to affect air travellers between Nigeria and Kenya, with passengers stranded in Nairobi and others in Nigeria reporting repeated delays and rescheduling of flights to the Kenyan capital.
