President Ruto: 1000 Kenyans leave country weekly for foreign jobs

President William Ruto has revealed that 1000 Kenyans leave the country weekly to work in foreign countries as part of the government-backed labour export program.

He made this announcement on Sunday, July 28, after attending a church service in Mwatate, Taita Taveta county.

According to Ruto, his administration has expanded opportunities for Kenyans to work abroad by signing labour export bilateral agreements to combat youth unemployment. These agreements include creating digital jobs for remote work with international companies.

Speaking in Taita Taveta, Ruto commended the State Department of Labour and Skill Development, particularly Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime, for their role in the program's success in addressing unemployment in the country.
