The last group of 78 Kenyans who had been stuck in scam compounds in Myanmar and Thailand has landed in the country. 31 more Kenyans arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Saturday afternoon, adding to the 47 who had landed earlier, marking the complete repatriation of all the Kenyans who had been stranded abroad.
The last team of 31 Kenyans came through Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and was received by the Principal Secretary of the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, Roseline Njogu, at JKIA.
They will, however, not go home immediately, as officers from the State Department for Diaspora Affairs will direct them to designated areas where they will record statements with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) before being released.
