MPX5161377: 1968 East African Asian Crisis. Following Kenya achieving independence in 1963 Asians living in Kenya, were given two years to acquire Kenyan citizenship which in turn meant they had to renounce their British passports. Out of approximately 180,000 Asians fewer than 20,000 had submitted their applications by the deadline. Those Kenyan Asians without citizenship soon became subject to increasing discrimination. By 1967 the Kenyan Government enacted the Kenyan Immigration Act which required them to acquire work permits, whilst a Trade Licensing Act passed in the same year limited the areas of the country in which non-Kenyans could engage in trade. The Asian community became increasingly threatened as the Kenyan government cast them as a scapegoat group. Many choose to utilise their British passport and settle in the United Kingdom. This influx from East Africa lead the UK government to introduce The Commonwealth Immigration Act 1968 This Act took away the right of residence unless the passport holders were 'patrials' - descendents of people (parents or grandparents) born, adopted or naturalised in the UK. While the people coming from Kenya had British passports, many had not been to the UK before. The 1968 Act effectively revoked British citizenship and made thousands of people stateless.
