Meanwhile, Kenya's government is preparing to implement new regulations aimed at preventing foreign nationals from engaging in small-scale trade, signaling a shift in the country's economic policy towards protecting local businesses.
In related developments, Jamaican delegates are in the UK to present a petition to King Charles III concerning reparations for slavery.
