When I was there, Kenya strongly favoured it's own pilots, which is OK. One problem, though, was that pilots from East Africa (Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi) were supposed to be equal to Kenya pilots, and they were not treated that way at all.
In fact, Kenya has THE most difficult license conversion process of ANY ICAO country....except of course if you bribe the right people they just give you everything you need without the pilot having to do anything at all except show up and receive all your licenses/ratings/medicals.
Kenya had the Conversion Exam which was required to convert your license. No other country does that...they all use the Air Law exam to convert your license.
