The German government has now denied having reached an agreement with Kenya to ship 250,000 Kenyans to work in the European Country.
The German Federal Ministry of Interior and Community has now clarified that the deal signed with Kenya does not reveal the number of Kenyans who are supposed to be processed to work in Germany.
Their response came following widespread reports by international media that Kenya had inked a deal with Germany for thousands for Kenyans to go and work in various sectors.
This comes at a time when President Ruto has completed a tour to Germany with a promise of signing a deal for the Kenyans to secure employment opportunities.
“The agreement between Germany and Kenya does not include any numbers or quotas of skilled workers who will have the opportunity to work in Germany. All applicants must fulfill the strict requirements of the German Skilled Immigration Act,” the Ministry said on X.
While in the country, Ruto outlined
Kenya’s willingness to share its labour workforce and human capital, while stressing that Kenya’s workforce will not be exploited.
“Kenya greatly appreciates the support that has been extended by the German Government. We are fully cognizant of the Labour demands for Germany and the available talented and qualified Kenyan Labour supply,” he said.
