Govt Secures Jobs for Skilled Kenyans in Hong Kong
The Kenyan government has moved closer to achieving its goal of providing one million foreign jobs after signing an important agreement with Hong Kong on Tuesday, June 27.
The State Department for Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary, Roseline Njogu, revealed the deal after meeting with Chris Sun, Secretary of the Labour and Welfare Bureau of the Special Administrative Region. During the session, Njogu and her team were successful in negotiating job openings for both unskilled workers and graduates.
“We met to discuss employment opportunities and the welfare and rights of Kenyan workers in Hong Kong. Hong Kong will employ non-skilled, semi-skilled and professionals in various sectors of the economy,” PS Njogu announced.
Njogu has fulfilled Ruto's initiative to deliver suitable employment opportunities overseas for Kenyans depending on their qualifications and work ethic. The PS touted the meeting as successful, saying that the Sun-led delegation agreed to offer jobs to Kenyans in Hong Kong. On the other hand, Sun pointed out that Hong Kong shifted its focus to Kenya to suffice the Nation's brimming need for skilled labourers. He added that recruiting from abroad is their response to the declining active labour force in the country.
Hong Kong has reviewed its recruitment laws to permit employers to hire foreign nationals, the outcome coming as a victory for Kenya. This means Kenyans have the chance to apply for positions in Hong Kong's public sector, as well as multiple opportunities in the private sector. On Saturday, June 18, Ruto said that Kenya had finalized pacts with more than five foreign countries to provide them with labour. These countries included Germany, Barbados, the US, the UK and Canada. According to PS Njogu, the first wave of expatriates will leave for Hong Kong starting in July 2023.

outsource, outsource = the hustler economy
Make the govt officials send their children to these countries first. Get independent evaluation of results and we can decide whether these places are safe enough for our children.
Also, seems like the govt is auctioning off the population to the highest bidder. Sorry.
I Don't think it will be a good experience to send our people to lands which historically have not been exposed to black. Most will regret it.
Ningependa kujua kama Rigathi au Samoei wameishi nje ya Kenya kwa muda wa zaidi ya mwaka mmoja na kuona jinsi watu wa asili ya COHO wanavyobaguliwa!!!!
Woi they will be whipped like little children with no where to run am sure Kenyans remember the crazy one who had a restaurant in Nairobi and was deported after he was found whipping a grown man and apparently that was not the first time. Now in their own country what will they not do in the name of offering employment
Did they see how Black people were treated when COVID-19 broke out in China.
They will be met with racism like they’ve never seen before.
Uhusiano wa panya na paka: mwishowe. paka humla panya.
