The president of Kenya, William Ruto, has said his government is seeking to sign ten new bilateral agreements that will help Kenyans secure jobs in European, North American and Middle Eastern countries.
The president said this while addressing the nation during the Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, on Monday, May 1.
According to him, “We have very many countries asking for Kenyan workers. The German chancellor will be here on Thursday and we will sign bilateral labour agreements that will see Kenyans get opportunities in the 250 million jobs Germany has on offer every year.
We have opportunities in Canada, the USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia… we will sign ten agreements in the next couple of months so that our youth get these opportunities.
The money we get every year from Kenyans in the diaspora is Ksh.400 billion. That is even more than what we get from our tea, coffee or horticulture exports.”
