President Ruto Vows to Boost the Number of Kenyans Working Abroad

Why not create jobs at home? Stop the brain drain and Killings in the Arab countries. Shenzi.

Let's flip this message and see how it sounds for the other end,"President Biden vows to boost the number of foreigners working in USA..."How many Americans would take kindly to this"intrusion"?
Ruto's statement is an acknowledgement that there are not enough opportunities in Kenya and that we should go and grab those created by others.If every country thought like that where would we be?Cannt we make Kenya great within?

Help them with student loans and tickets. It's no secret that international students of the connected get overseas scholarships from ministry of edu

Instead of finding homegrown solutions, ship them away. So much os PHD holder intelligence

All he's doing is nothing more than a continual attempt to setting himself up in good standing with the United States; good foreign relations w/ one of the greatest- the cream of the crop for various reasons one being to continually encourage Americans to fall in love with Kenya or the idea of investing in Kenya.

Do you see what I see?

Hmmmm just send them out... Send all the bright ones out.... Make sure the ones who remain are wallowing in hunger and poverty, and high cost of living, entangled in corruption and do not have the liver to speak against the wrongdoings of the government in place? Huh! What if those diasporans realize that the same thing happened to the slaves couple of decades ago? What if those Kenyans you are so eager to send out, stop remitting money to Kenya?

I am a recent diaspora returnee. One of the major challenges in this place is the cost of doing business. Cost of energy, dishonesty, harassment and senior government officials wanting a piece of the action etc. Many many jobs would be created if major challenges are addressed.

Slavery at best. It's time for Kenyans themselves to take matters into their own hands and work to create jobs at home.
Mr President, Change the status quo. Change the education. Have our government teach our kids in local languages do everything for our people and jobs will be found at home.
You are working against our people by planning to ship slaves abroad.
Talk about sufferings experienced by Kenyans abroad. How many are ending up in jail due to lack of understanding of foreign cultures. How many end up disabled. How many are buried abroad and how many are brought home dead.
Do not work to disintegrate our families. It's time to as those Kenyans who are abroad to come home, re- unite with their families and bring home the skilled they have learned.
Kenyans start asking and campaigning for your brothers and sisters to come home and help uplift your families.
Time is now!!!

How did this idiot get a Phd? So he is able to create jobs in other countries but he can't create jobs in Kenya? This statement is an admission of failure!

A non diaspora president will never understand diaspora issues. Diaspora left bc of lack of jobs so pushing Kenyans out means zero effort in job creation or making conditions favorable for creators. President you must not ride on prosperity of diaspora who've suffered and some died to harvest USD. Diaspora is a symptom of bad governance and corruption. Not a cure for economic problems. But you can apologize to them and channel their finances into useful investments devoid of stealing.

Ona Sasa, instead of creating jobs this maembe wants to send people out. Eish

I just came back home after a long time abroad. It is not as glamorous as it looks from this end. The cost of living is quite high and those countries expect you to pay taxes there as well. I was lucky in that I managed to hustle and save some money to re-invest back at home, but this is not typical. The solution, as many have suggested, is creating jobs back here at home. God willing, I will start some sort of business and help another person so that they won`t see a need to go abroad.
