Kenya and Saudi Arabia have signed a new agreement to recruit at least 10,000 Kenyan workers every month. The initiative is designed to expand overseas employment opportunities while improving working conditions and pay for migrant workers.
The deal includes measures to ensure better wages and protections for Kenyan workers in Saudi Arabia. It also aims to address concerns over high recruitment costs and the welfare of migrant workers. The government has been working to improve conditions for overseas workers as part of broader efforts to support employment.
This agreement follows ongoing discussions between the two countries to enhance labor mobility and economic cooperation. It comes as Kenya seeks to diversify employment opportunities and reduce the challenges faced by workers seeking jobs abroad. The initiative is part of a larger strategy to strengthen bilateral ties and support economic growth through labor export.
