19 Ethiopian Aliens Arrested In Kenya

According to sources,the aliens who are being held at Sagana Police Station cannot speak English or Swahili.

While addressing the press, Mwea West Sub County Police Boss Paul Odede said that the driver was a Kenyan .

Odede added that stern action will be taken against Kenyan drivers who are caught transporting aliens along the road.

This comes just a few days after twelve other Ethiopians were arrested hiding in a house at Kahawa area.

It is reported that some unscrupulous Kenyans are now doing lucrative business of helping aliens especially from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia to enter the country illegally.

There has been an influx of Ethiopian aliens into the country who later head to South Africa in search of employment.

The Kenyan authorities are however blaming the vastness of the region for the influx of foreigners into Kenya through Moyale on Kenya-Ethiopia borders.

They added that the huge supply of labour both skilled and unskilled makes them vulnerable to criminal syndicates.
