The latest arrests comes just weeks after a Chinese national was arrested and deported over a racist rant on Kenyans including President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Chinese embassy later released a statement saying the sentiments from Liu Jiaqi did not represent their views and that they always expect their nationals to follow the countries laws.
Arrests and subsequent deportation of foreigners intensified in July after a directive from Interior CS Fred Matiang’i over illegal immigrants.
He ordered that those found without proper documents be deported.
