As both of you are in Kenya - consult a local lawyer abd file for divorce in Kenya.

Dear Madam,
We understand that you being a Kenyan citizen of Indian origin, have been married to citizen of India in December 1999 and had lived with him in India. However, you have since returned to Kenya, as your husband and his family had resorted to mental and physical torture.
Under the present circumstances and on the basis of the facts as available to us, you may file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty. Cruelty is a valid ground for divorce in almost all the family laws relating to marriage and divorce.
However, in order to give a conclusive opinion on the matter, kindly provide us with the following details:
1. Religion practiced by you and your husband;
2. Place where the marriage had been solemnized;
3. Whether marriage has been solemnized under personal law or under the Special Marriage Act;
In case you require any clarification, please feel free to contact us.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Dubey & Partners

Yes, you can file for a divorce and also for maintenance; however, before you do so, it is necessary to know as to where and under what laws were you married.
