President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud called upon Somali businessmen to abide by the laws of the nations where their investments are.
The President said this when he visited businesses owned by Somali men and women in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighborhood.
President Mohamud toured the businesses on Wednesday evening.
Eastleigh has one of the largest populations of ethnic Somalis outside Somalia.
The President was in Nairobi for the 2024 Annual Meeting of the African Development Bank (AfDB) with other heads of state from the continent.
He urged Somali traders not to develop a reputation for breaking the law.
