This was agreed upon during a bilateral discussion between the Kenyan government and Israel delegates in Nairobi. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection recently unveiled their proposal, which outlines the recruitment of Kenyans through approved agencies. President Eric Rutto of the Kenya Chamber of Commerce was in attendance during the bilateral discussions. Also, Principal Secretary of Diaspora Affairs Roseline Njogu disclosed that there are presently more than 510 Kenyan individuals employed in Israel, with the majority working within the Agriculture industry.

“These opportunities number about 1,500 with a guaranteed net income of Ksh228,000 (USD 1500) per month, on 3 years renewable contracts,” the Kenyan government stated.

President William Ruto's recent pledge to send 3,000 Kenyan workers overseas each week for job prospects has now been followed by a new accord with Israel. On November 19, the President committed to supporting the export of labour from Kenya. Meanwhile, President Ruto has disclosed that he has received a report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) that recognizes Kenyan talent as the best globally.

President Ruto expresses confidence in the Kenyan workforce and encourages investors to establish their businesses in the country. President Ruto has further announced that the Open University of Kenya and the Indira Gandhi National Open University had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to foster a relationship that involves the sharing of information on capacity and courses.

    Ridiculous! Earning peanuts for slave labor!!! The Thai’s who have been the mule slaves in Israeli farm fields have fled the country after being massacred and kidnapped by Hamas, and now Kenyans are being recruited to face the same fate in the future!?!

    Why can’t the Israeli’s do their damn jobs themselves???

    Religion is EVIL

    Remember the Tazanian who died recently after the Hamas kidnapping. What about solidarity with Palestinians who are occupied. Let's push for a two State solution to give Palestinians Independence. Apartheid and occupation must end.

    Exporting raw materials and raw labour for centuries. Kwani waafrika walirogwa na Noah? Christ took the curse of the law. Be free live free in prosperity

    Why did no one think of this before 🤔. This model has worked so well for the Philippines, they've exported 10 million of their people and have one of the higher poverty rates in their neck of the woods not to mention once gone, these people seldom go back.

    Jamani! Utumwa mamboleo!!!!! ukiongozwa na Ndugu yetu Samoei Cherop Ruto. Poleni sana kwa wote waliompigia kura kuwa kiongozi wa taifa letu wakifikiria ya kwamba atazalisha ajira katika nchi ya Kenya kwa wengi walio maskini.

    Something is very wrong hereWhich fields 🤔this Israelis think they will ever leave in peace to farm after massacring close to 13000 Palestinians.Those orphans you continue to create will avenge the death of their parents for generations .There will be no two state solution.Israel needs to exit Gaza and not control it in any way.An independent country called Palestine should be rebuilt from the ruins that Israel is creating in Gaza.Stop sending innocent Kenyans to their death

    Angalia huyu sasa. He keeps repeating the same mistakes thinking nonsense

    What about creating jobs and opportunities in Kenya. How long must the brain drain and human resources drain continue? Any government should not be proud to export it's people. They should invest more in creating industries and agricultural opportunities in Kenya. What they are doing isn't sustainable. Kids in Kenya should have hope for a better future in kenya instead of farm work or cleaning jobs in foreign countries.

    NEPOTISM chief in Kenya,Amollo should be ashamed for demanding Ruto create jobs for Kenyans in Kenya.He himself appointed his daughter,Winnie to replace his brother,Oburu as EALA MP.He had appointed his two in-laws as ambassadors to US and a sister,Ruth to CA office.How many jobs did he create when he was voted-PRIME MURDERER by the BLOOD of 1300 Kenyans and recently as African roads minister?He only helps mortuary and cemetery employees keep their jobs by killing more Kenyans as he wish.

    Congratulations to the 6.2m.hungry billionaire Kenyans who created jobs for less than 4000 elite gangsters in 2010.I hope you will at least apply MUCUS if another chance occurs.
