President William Ruto has emphasized that both Kenya and Germany have labour markets that can play a significant role in driving economic growth.

Speaking during a meeting with Kenyans residing in Germany, the president highlighted 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.

“As a Government, we are committed to ensuring that those in the Labour migration space are licensed, ethical and persons who will not take advantage of Kenyan job seekers. We will adhere to best international Labour migration practices.”
