President Ruto brags about how smart and hardworking Kenyan employees are around the world. He claims foreign companies love hiring Kenyans because they need little supervision and follow orders well. The president says their strong English skills help them land good jobs overseas. He believes Kenyan workers are more reliable than people from other countries. Education levels among Kenyan job seekers impress international employers.
The government kicked out nearly 900 crooked job agencies that were cheating workers. These bad companies broke rules and treated people poorly before losing their licenses. Ruto demands that all overseas job offers must go through official government websites. Officials want to track where workers go and what they earn abroad. The new system helps protect Kenyan citizens from fraud and abuse.
Around 400,000 Kenyans found work in foreign countries during the past two years. The president credits tighter government controls for this success. Money sent home from overseas workers jumped from 480 billion shillings to 594 billion shillings. That extra cash equals nearly one billion more dollars flowing into the economy. More Kenyans working abroad means more money for families back home.
Ruto wants citizens to learn foreign languages like German, French, Chinese and Spanish. He announced this plan during a government meeting in Kajiado. The president thinks speaking multiple languages will help Kenyans compete better for international jobs. Government departments are working with schools to teach these languages. Learning new languages opens doors to better paying work opportunities.
