Ruto Says Plan to Send 5,000 Kenyans Abroad Each Week Underway

President William Ruto has expressed the country's intention to send a minimum of 5,000 Kenyans abroad every week for employment opportunities in his efforts to address unemployment.

Together with Florence Bore, the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, the government is striving to ink a labour agreement with two nations to promote the deployment of Kenyans overseas. The ultimate objective is to improve remittances, achieve self-sufficiency, and ultimately promote development in Kenya. Ruto stresses that his overseas travels revolve around seeking opportunities for Kenyans to gain advantages and secure employment in foreign lands.

"Kila wiki, tunataka kutuma karibu watu 3,000 ama 5,000 waende wafanye kazi duniani kote ndio waweze kutuletea pesa, wajisimamie, na pia tuweze kubadilisha Kenya mzima," he says.

He affirms that his goal for travelling abroad is not for pleasure but to advance the welfare of the citizens of Kenya, as compelled by his electoral mandate. Today, he will set out on an official trip to Germany. Additionally, the Head of State has divulged plans to establish a national hub for businesses and factories in Bomet county.

"Nimekua Saudi Arabia last week, Rais wa Ujerumani alikua Kenya karibu miezi tatu iliopita, alituhaidi ya kwamba kuna nafasi ya watu elfu kumi na mbili, lazima niende nipange hio kazi, rais wa Ufaranza vile vile kuna jinsi tumekubaliana," he said.

During a religious service held on Sunday in Sotik, Bomet County, Ruto unveiled a new project that will integrate agro-processing, value addition, and manufacturing facilities to stimulate job creation within the county. The government has allocated Sh500 million to fund this initiative.

Sending Kenyans is the solution??????
Create a conducive environment for businesses and industries to grow thus creating jobs, revenue and taxes.
Remove all barriers.
Harassing people at airport as an investor i would not want to come back.
Remove all the licenses,fees Etc...we have county and national government requiring you to have this and that license ( make it one)
Just to get as anything from the government is a hassle passport,birth certificate name it .

Ma ya Ngai we regret despising everything Uhuru warned us about hustlers. When was the last time we heard about hustlers? Vacation America:; cruise: America

This is extra stupid however you look at it. Sending our brightest n greatest to foreign lands instead of creating jobs right here at home.. they are all after diaspora remittances and cares less if these short sighted policies cause massive brain drain

Now Ruto has become the new age slave trader for f young black Kenya youth across the world! When Ruto talks about these fake jobs in other countries, he only speaks in Swahili so that the leaders of those countries do not understand his lies. Ruto has completely run out of lies and now he is lying about the fake jobs which do not exist just to have something to talk above it.

Watu wa Sotik, your man is not telling you the truth about the jobs he is talking about. There are no jobs people!

Which are these jobs that you just get up one morning, board a plane and get a job in Germany. USA, Russia, etc without the proper education and training to do those job? Why is Ruto taken into lying like a Devil?

Ruto won’t tell you the truth that those who got to the Arab Countries are returning back to Kenya in coffins because of the physical and mental abuse by the Arabs; the former slave traders! Assasishhhh! This man Ruto has gone mad when th lies!

Hata Hustler number one anajua kumeumana so anatuma watu inje!!! “The ultimate objective is to improve remittances, achieve self-sufficiency, and ultimately promote development in Kenya.” This statement here is the exact definition of brain drain “Ruto stresses that his overseas travels revolve around seeking opportunities for Kenyans to gain advantages and secure employment in foreign lands.”

This is the most ridiculous thing he’s said since taking office. Improve the economy and Create jobs in your country. You are sending skills and knowledge out of the country, how does that help push Kenya forward. Ruto may not drink alcohol but he’s leading like an incompetent drunk president. Sounds like the objective here is to improve the economy with diaspora money. Read between the lines on his plan.

Nakuomba Ndugu Samoei Cherop Ruto ustaafu mara moja kutoka kwenye urais wa nchi kwa manufaa ya umma. Umeshindwa kabisa kuitawala nchi ya Kenya ifaavyo.

Usisahau ya kwamba ulikuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miaka 10.

Kenya inahitaji uongozi mpya kabisa ambao wahitaji kiongozi ambaye anatawanya mamlaka ya uongozi kwa mataifa 70 yaliyomo katika nchi ya Kenya. Kwa sasa, mataifa mawili tu ndiyo yanayoshikilia utawala wa nchi.

Nakuomba usisahau watu waliochomewa katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret 2007. Jumba la Makumbusho lafaa kujengwa mara moja ili watu wasije wakasahau yaliyotendeka kanisani humo.

I said recently that he is out of his depth. Inaonekana rais huyu hana ufahamu wowote kuhusu kutawala au kutengeneza ajira. He believes it's other countries jobs to create jobs for Kenyans. I don't Xi of China going elsewhere to beg for jobs for his people. It beggars the question why he is president if he can't preside.

It was muscle sending, now brain drain. Btw ain't you sending away 2027 voters Mr president?
Whatever happened to industrialization and growing the economy, the love of imports from suits, shoes, fragrance, toothpicks, etc.

"The ultimate objective is to improve remittances..." That says is all.
The same Dr. had earlier said that wananchi should look for work outside the boarders of their country.That is his solution to solving unemployment crisis.Might I remind the good Dr.,or not so good,that,going to work in another country should be a personal choice,much like touring another country.
Isn't this an admission of failure to create jobs in your own country.You want to send your people to jobs others have created.Shame on you.
Come 2027, any worthy candidate could win the election by reading comments from mwakilishi,and rebranding,or branding them with a little flavor.That's all.
We are the eyes of the people.Root out Ruto.Make him one term president.Send him to stay on his firm breeding chickens.Chicken him out of politics.

NDUGU SAMOEI *CHEROP* RUTO

Nakuomba ukumbuke ahadi nyingi ulizowaahidi WaKenya ulipokuwa ukigombea kiti cha urais wa taifa letu la Kenya.

Kama WaSwahili wanavyosema, "AHADI NI DENI."

Nakuomba ujitahidi kuwatimizia wote waliokupigia kura wakidhani ya kwamba, kura yao kwako itawarahisishia maisha yao.

Kwa wale wasioelewa kwa nini natumia jina hili "*CHEROP*" kumwita Ndugu yetu Samoei, ningependa mjue natumia jina hili kwa heshima kubwa sana kwa mamaye Samoei aliyempa uhai alio nao sasa.

Kila siku, kulingana na WHO (World Health Organization), yapata wanawake 808 ambao huyapoteza maisha yao wakati wa kuzaa mtoto. Mimi mwenyewe nimeshatimiza heshima hii kwa kutumia majina matatu kama kitambulisho changu. Jina la kwanza, ni jina la asili yangu. Jina la pili, ni jina la kwanza la mamangu mzazi la asili yake. Jina la tatu, ni jina la kwanza la babangu mzazi la asili yake (wala si jina linalotokana na utumwa, ukoloni, Bibilia, au Quran).

Hii si mara ya kwanza mimi kufanya hivyo, kila wakati ninapomtaja Ndugu yetu Rais Mstaafu, mimi humwita "Uhuru Ngina Kamau."

Mimi kama mwanamume, nimeona ni bora niwahezshimu akina mama kwa kutumia jina langu la kati la mamangu mzazi.

"Heshima si utumwa."

There's never a better admission of state failure than this. A country exporting it's muscle and brain to build another country. Why then should Kenyan parents and taxpayers be required to support and pay for their education? Those workers will pay their taxes to the host country, and the hustlers left behind will continue to be flogged by the KRA for more taxes! Pathetic.

This is a temporary solution to a permanent problem!
Why not create a business, and investment friendly environment where Kenya’s can invest in their country and improve it??
Why are we importing our number one resource? Youth!!
All countries in Europe would kill to have a youthful population like we do!
That’s why they’re coming in and convincing stupid leaders like Ruto to send these productive youths to slave in foreign lands!!
