This comes at a time when the Kenya Kwanza government, led by President William Ruto, has been pushing for more foreign job opportunities for Kenyans.
Recently, Germany and Kenya signed an agreement to allow skilled workers from Kenya to live and work in Germany, aiming to address the country’s job shortage.
This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to tackle limited job opportunities in Kenya.
