According to government announcement, Kenyans will be able to go to the Bahamas without a visa starting in May.
After speaking privately with his counterpart Fred Mitchell on the sidelines of the current Commonwealth summit in the UK, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua revealed this. The Commonwealth bloc’s foreign ministers are present during the summit.
It consists of 56 nations that cooperate for development, democracy, and peace while speaking up for tiny states and supporting youth. It will strengthen and promote economic and business ties between the two nations, according to a statement from Mutua.
According to the CS, he also urged the minister to take into account hiring Kenyans for positions in the Bahamas healthcare system, related service businesses, and seafarer-related sectors. Also, the two presidents decided to cooperate to maintain peace in Haiti.
The eventual stability and prosperity of Haiti would not only be advantageous to her neighbors and the region, but would also be excellent for world peace and security, he continued. “We agreed on the need for comprehensive peace efforts in Haiti,” he added.
Kenyan citizens can currently travel to many countries without a visa, including Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. On November 9, 2022, during a bilateral meeting between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his Kenyan counterpart William Ruto in Nairobi, the visa-free policy for South Africa was revealed.
