Official wording
Each person intending to travel into the country shall apply to the Director for Electronic Travel Authorization through the electronic portal and be in possession of the Authorization before embarkation. … The category of persons set out in the Seventeenth Schedule are exempted from the requirement of obtaining eTA before travelling into the country. … PERSONS EXEMPTED FROM OBTAINING eTA
Aevamo’s reading
Regulations 15B and 15G, made under section 59 of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, impose the Electronic Travel Authorization requirement on every person travelling into Kenya and define — through the Seventeenth Schedule — the only categories exempt from it; this is the instrument that creates the obligation, not a description of one created elsewhere.
Regulation 15B(1) requires every person travelling into Kenya to hold an Electronic Travel Authorization before embarkation, and regulation 15G confines the exemption to the categories in the Seventeenth Schedule; these issuers are on no list in that Schedule, so they must obtain an eTA in advance.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
