Hello,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal Sandbox Community.
I attempted to create a Kenya Business and Kenya Personal Account as well, and received the same response.
This is an issue that we will look into on our end. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Thank you,

Hello,
Thank you for getting back to me. The PayPal Product Developers are still identifying the root cause of this issue.
Once they have determined the root cause, they can implement a fix for the issue.
I apologize for the inconvenience of this issue.

Hello,
While the PayPal Product Developers are working on resolving this issue. We have a work around to allow Kenya Account creation.
If you choose to create a custom account, you can manually create a Kenya Account.
Thanks,
