Taking to social media, the CS highlighted 89 complainants and the flagged recruitment agencies, alongside the implicated individuals.
According to Mutua, failure to honour the summons would attract legal action such as arrest, prosecution and deregistration where applicable.
"If you're posing as a travel or recruitment agency and engaging in job placement without proper registration or licenses, we will come after you. You risk being taken on a long-term holiday to prison," he said.
"Kenyans deserve safe, transparent, and dignified access to job opportunities abroad. We will not relent until every rogue agent is held accountable."
He noted that these are part of the efforts by the government to crack down on rogue agents who exploit Kenyans by promising them non-existent overseas jobs.
He appealed to the public to continue reporting rogue agents to the relevant authorities.
"We call upon members of the public who know the listed individuals or companies to immediately notify them of this summons. Whistleblowers and victims are further encouraged to continue reporting to the Multi-Agency Response Team at NSSF," he noted.
The development follows mounting public criticism directed at CS Mutua's ministry, with many questioning the credibility of the labour mobility program.
Critics have labelled it a scam, while others have raised concerns that Kenyans are being sent abroad for menial jobs, where they often face human rights abuses.
