Give foreign spouses right to work in KenyaKenya Ambassador to Seoul, South Korea Nominee Mwende Mwinzi. Currently, this group does not have automatic rights to work and earn a living accruing from their marriage to Kenyans. While the Kenya Dependent Pass allows them to reside in Kenya lawfully, the status of a dependent does not allow them to work. The assumption is that the non-Kenyan spouse depends on the Kenyan spouse for everything and is thus not allowed to work, which is problematic, dehumanising and discriminatory. Many countries allow spouses of their citizens/residents to work and many Kenyans abroad are beneficiaries of such arrangements.
