Azimio Governor Warns Kenyan Multimillion Firm Over Israel Business
Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyongo has warned a multimillion-dollar Kenyan manufacturer, Bidco, not to do business with Israel amid escalating tensions in Gaza.
In a statement, Azimio la Umoja Governor indicated that Bidco had reached a new agreement with Israel, despite the country facing global condemnation for what many have called genocide.
Governor Nyong’o advised Bidco to cut ties with Israel and cancel other agreements reached during a meeting between an Israeli Economic and Trade Mission and Bidco Group Chairman, Mr Vimal Shah, in Kenya last week.
“Last week, an Israeli Economic and Trade Mission was in Kenya to meet Bidco Group Chairman, Mr Vimal Shah during which they discussed collaboration with Israeli companies in the FMCG sectors,” Governor Nyongo said.
“We are calling our brother Vimal to restrain his company from taking this move in line with the decisions taken by the United Nations Organization and the International Court of Justice.”
If Bidco does not comply, the Governor warned that it may face similar sanctions as Israel.
The Kisumu County administrator stated that the only way to resolve the conflict between the two countries is to implement a two-state solution.
The war in Gaza has also displaced thousands of Palestinians, with the United Nations (UN) reporting that at least 1.9 million have been displaced, with thousands injured.
At least 25,000 Palestinians have been killed in the nearly five-month-old war.
