Foreigners enjoying refugee status in Kenya can now integrate into society and participate in economic and social development as per a new law assented to by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday.
The policy shift is contained in The Refugee Act and creates the office of the Commissioner of Refugees, whose mandate is to ensure the integration of refugees into host communities.
