Kenya’s Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu says the number of jobs in the labour deal Kenya and Germany signed last week is not specified.
“The question of whether it is 250,000 or 30,000 or 10,000 is moot because it is as many as can qualify,” Njogu told NTV in a Monday night interview.
“It is a non-quota-based agreement; some agreements say the number of visas a country will give Kenya, but this agreement is very different. Germany says it has opened the market for Kenyans, provided you qualify per its laws.”
Nairobi and Berlin last Friday signed an agreement on “labour mobility, apprenticeships, student training, labour market needs, employment, employee welfare, and the readmission and return of workers,” according to a dispatch from President William Ruto’s office.
