President William Ruto has hinted that Africans within the continental free trade area may not need visas when visiting Kenya in the near future.

Speaking during the launch of the dialogue between the private sector and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) ministers, the president also made a projection of what he expects from the three-day Council of Ministers meeting.

"I want to promise you that that might be the last time you are looking for a visa to come to Kenya. This is home, and we must remove any impediments to the movement of people around our continent," said Dr Ruto.
