Friday, November 15, 2024 – The Government of President William Ruto has made yet another promise as Kenyans continue to lose trust in the Kenya Kwanza administration over the many lies and promises told by the president and his agents.
This is after Cabinet Secretary
for Labour and Social Protection, Alfred Mutua, revealed that Ruto and his
government's plan to export one million Kenyan workers abroad every
year as part of a new jobs scheme.
Speaking after holding a meeting
with Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Mutua revealed that the government is
engaging other countries in a bid to expand Kenya's employment export base
to one million annually.
"During the meeting, I had
the opportunity to brief the Deputy President on the ongoing recruitment and
sensitization program targeting one million job placements annually through our
labor export initiative," Mutua revealed.
The CS further revealed that the
government will be establishing ICT hubs in each of Kenya’s 290 constituencies
to provide the Kenyan youth with access to lucrative digital jobs, transforming
their economic prospects and building a robust future for Kenya.
He asserted that the government
is committed to tackling the youth unemployment challenge in the nation.
Already, there are reports
indicating that the number of unemployed people in the country will reach 1.76
million people this year, a majority of whom are said to be between 20-24
years.
According to the CS, the Kenya
Kwanza administration is actively negotiating for more job opportunities
abroad under its labour export program.
