Today the 19th of December 2014, one day after the National Assembly passed the Security amendments bill, the  president has signed it into law: It is now The Security Amendments Act 2014! Its implementation is underway and I think once this starts, it is when we can tell if it works for or against various issues it was  anticipated to address:

Those with interest in Kenya Immigration practice should watch out for how it will affect their operations or stay in Kenya but at this point we know that the era of changing Immigration status from a visitor to a work permit will be a thing of the past among other operational changes envisaged in the amendments. Work permits will have to be applied for, processed and approved before one can travel to Kenya.

Lets keep watching this space.
