Kenya's government has expelled Brian Bright Kagoro, a Zimbabwean constitutional lawyer, who was accused of participating in a scheme to instigate political protests in the country with external funding. Immigration officials declared him persona non grata after lengthy questioning and investigations that allegedly linked him to a network of political mobilization financed by foreign donors. As part of the expulsion process, Kagoro was escorted out of Nairobi through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Security officials allege that Kagoro's activities included multiple trips to Kenya, where he reportedly committed to mobilizing $1.2 million for activist endeavors meant to exacerbate the local economic discontent and rejuvenate youth-led protests. The Kenyan authorities have indicated that this funding was part of a broader strategy to create political instability by capitalizing on dissatisfaction among the populace, particularly the youth, in hopes of fostering protests against the government.

This expulsion comes amid increasing scrutiny of foreign involvement in Kenya's domestic affairs, reflecting the government's assertive approach to managing external influences that may challenge political stability. The case raises questions about freedom of movement for activists and lawyers involved in political reform, particularly in regions where government actions are closely monitored by international entities, highlighting the delicate balance between national security and civil liberties.
