Kenya is a beautiful country where at least 10.000 Goans resided and earned their livelihoods during the British colonial regime.
Kenya became an independent country in December 1963 and in the following years adopted a policy of Africanization of government and private sector jobs . Many young Asians ( mainly Goans, Gujaratis and Punjabis ) had to make way for Africans and since most of them were British passport holders , they starting migrating to Britain as they could just walk into Britain without any restrictions In February.1968 , the British parliament passed a law curtailing the free entry of Asian British passport holders and introduced an entry voucher system limiting the entry to a certain number per year.

And possibly among them was one young Goan aged about 21 ( just like Suella's Papa ). Let us be fair to Kenya.

They simply left Kenya because their means of livelihood were curtailed by the Africanization process. Antonio .
