Kenya has introduced a ‘Class R’ work permit, allowing East African Community (EAC) nationals to obtain the document free of charge.

According to a gazette notice issued on Tuesday by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who doubles as Foreign Affairs minister, EAC citizens will only need to provide proof of citizenship.
