If you are looking to sell bitcoin in #Kenya, there are a number of #P2P trading platforms in which you can do that and receive payment via #MPesa, domestic bank transfer, or in-person via cash even.
P2P OTC Exchanges (e.g., Bisq, HodlHodl, LocalCoinSwap, etc.):

If you sell BTC on a recurring basis, you might want to consider becoming a #Binance P2P merchant. Details here:
