You will be unable to work in Kenya without a work permit, either as an employee, or running your own business.  Obtaining a work permit as an employee will necessitate your return home to make to application from there.

To start a business is relatively straightforward, but you need a Class G work permit to operate your business and one of the requirements to obtain this type of permit is a minimum of $100,000 in capital (or equivalent in another currency).
