Kenyatta noted that as a mark of Kenya’s continued commitment to the East African Community’s, all East African citizens would henceforth be treated like Kenyans. “Like your Kenyan brothers and sisters, you will need only your identity card. You can now work, do business; own property, farm and if you wish, and find a willing partner, you can marry and settle in Kenya,” said President Kenyatta.

In his inauguration speech,the Kenyan President noted that this commitment has been made with no conditions for reciprocity but driven by Kenya’s desire for deeper regional integration. He added: “As l welcome you l remind you that equally you shall be subject to the same rules and laws as your Kenyan brothers and sisters.”
