Important Changes:
Starting January 5, 2024, ALL travelers (with exceptions outlined below) will be required to apply for and pay the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before their journey to Kenya.

Remarks by His Excellency William Ruto, CGH; PhD; President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, While delivering his New Year’s message to the Nation – December 31st, 2023 State House, Nakuru.

  1. We are now in the final minutes of 2023, an eventful year for individuals, communities and for us collectively as a nation. We navigated through major difficulties, faced significant challenges and celebrated numerous triumphs. Our nation is the sum of our lives, experiences and aspirations. Like most of us, our country has lived through an eventful year and made encouraging progress across many sectors, in the midst of daunting setbacks. The impact of global economic dynamics adversely affected us, compounded by the war in Europe, rising interest rates in America and the unfortunate effects of climate change that occasioned the most severe drought in 40 years. All these factors slowed down our economic performance, resulting in increased commodity prices. Fertilizers and cereals experienced significant price hikes, contributing to the rise in food prices and the overall cost of living.
