For more passengers are being hunted after 17 passengers were recently intercepted from travel past Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as the arrests come after the United Arab Emirates listed Kenya among 13 countries slapped with a visa ban due to coronavirus.
According to intelligence in UAE, the measure was done after citing that some passengers from Kenya were presenting fake clearance letters on arrival in Dubai.
Currently, Kenya is said to have a surge in Covid-19 cases and travelers intercepted recently were alleged to be in possession of fake Covid-19 clearance certificates.
The other countries that its visas were banned include; Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya.
However, only Pakistan appeared to confirm the news through reports in its media quoting government officials.
The Pakistan Foreign Affairs Ministry said the suspension will not affect those with already issued visas.
It was not immediately clear what categories of Visa were also affected by this directive from the UAE.
