The government has blacklisted 26 recruitment agencies from sending Kenyan workers abroad in a bid to protect them from exploitation and violation of their rights.

Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Florence Bore, without disclosing the names of the rogue agencies, said the move was prompted by an investigation into 700 recruitment firms, that found out there was a blatant violation of the rights of Kenyan workers abroad.
