The Kenyan government is alerting citizens about fraudulent recruitment agencies preying on job seekers hoping to work abroad. Jennifer Wanami, Assistant Director of Skills and Expertise at the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, stated that these agencies demand payment for fake job opportunities. Authorities are increasing awareness campaigns at the local level to help young Kenyans distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate overseas employment offers. The initiative aims to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation by these deceptive practices. The government urges Kenyans seeking jobs in countries abroad to verify the credentials of recruitment agencies before engaging with them. These efforts seek to ensure safe and lawful international employment for Kenyan citizens. Further details on legitimate recruitment pathways are being disseminated through community outreach programs.
