The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Buruburu, Nairobi, has arrested a man identified as Kevin Odiwuor Otieno for allegedly inciting hate and violence against Burundian nationals. According to Tuko, the alleged incitement occurred at an event in Kayole. Otieno is expected to face court proceedings on Wednesday as the case moves forward through Kenya's judicial system.

Kenya’s government has apologised to Burundian nationals over harassment linked to confusion surrounding a crackdown on unlicensed foreign traders, according to Capital FM. The statement, reported from Nairobi on September 7, said authorities would tighten security for immigrants as enforcement continues. The report frames the apology as an effort to reassure Burundians while maintaining measures against unlicensed trading.

A video reported by Tuko shows Kenyans forcing a man into a police car after he allegedly tried to harass a Burundian vendor. According to the outlet, the man was removed from a Burundian-owned hotel after attempting to intimidate its owner. The incident comes amid rising scrutiny of undocumented foreign traders in Kenya, though details of any charges or the man's identity were not provided.

Kenyan politician Mungatana has condemned reported attacks targeting Burundians in Kenya, particularly in Nakuru, and called for action against those organising them. According to Capital FM, Mungatana said reports of harassment, intimidation and hostility against Burundians run contrary to Kenya's Pan-African values and its commitment to regional integration. He urged authorities to take action against the organisers of the alleged anti-Burundi campaign.

Kenyan singer Bien-Aimé Baraza has commented on a government crackdown targeting foreign nationals, including Burundians, operating small-scale businesses in Kenya without required permits. According to Ghafla Kenya, the artist called for African solidarity, warning that the treatment of one African community could affect others living and working across the continent.

Tuko reports that a Burundian man who has lived in Kenya for 10 years broke down after his shop was allegedly looted overnight, wiping out stock he said took a decade to build. In a video cited by the outlet, he says “Mmeniharibia maisha,” expressing that his life has been destroyed. The blurb does not provide the shop’s location, the value of losses, possible suspects, or details of any police investigation.
