CS Alfred Mutua: Nationwide recruitment for overseas jobs starts next week
Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Alfred Mutua interacts with job seekers at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre(KICC) following a mass recruitment drive for various jobs in Qatari companies.
The CS highlighted that overseas salaries for Kenyans range from around Sh40,000 to as high as Sh800,000 or Sh1 million for professionals such as doctors, nurses, bankers, and those in real estate, depending on the job market and demand in each country.
Addressing concerns about segregation in some countries, Dr Mutua said the bilateral agreement includes laws designed to protect Kenyan workers in such circumstances.
The government will on Wednesday roll out a national recruitment programme for overseas jobs in all 47 counties.
Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua said there are additional 5,000 positions following the 8,000 jobs in the first rollout.
