William Ruto orders Tata Chemicals to exit Kenya over economic failures

In Kenya, President William Ruto has ordered Tata Chemicals to leave the country, citing its failure to generate economic impact since 2005.

Ruto's directive comes after the company's operations were suspended pending a compliance review, and he emphasized the need for new investors who will contribute to local development.
