it's convenient that much is true, not quite sure if I would call it 'working well' though.

But corporations are probably happy with all the guests workers doing jobs for the bare minimum amount of money.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Visas to visit Kenya are to be scrapped for other African nationals from next year as part of a movement towards opening up trade and travel within the continent.

Costly and time-consuming visa requirements, as well as high air fares, have long created barriers to inter-African travel for African passport holders; 32 out of 54 African countries still require the nationals of half or more countries on the continent to obtain a visa.

Ruto said the removal of barriers was necessary to facilitate the implementation of the African continental free trade area.

“It is time we realise the importance of trading among ourselves and allowing goods, services, people and ideas to move freely across the continent,” he said.

It launched an “AU passport” in 2016 to allow unrestricted travel for Africans within the continent.

Kenya’s announcement has been met with positive reactions from Africans online, and hopes that other countries will follow suit.

For the whole continent? I thought they would try that starting with their own (proposed) regional block, the Eastern African Federation.
