The Kenyan government signed a deal with Mozambique on Wednesday to transfer sentenced persons between the two nations. This agreement is part of a broader Joint Permanent Commission for Cooperation (JPCC) between Kenya and Mozambique. The mutual agreement in criminal investigations will act as a precursor for the smooth transfer of criminals once sentenced. In March 2023, the cabinet approved a deal agreed between Kenya, China, and Italy, to facilitate extradition of lawmakers. The East African nation is home to over 4,000 Makonde community members who draw their roots from Mozambique.
