For Kaituko, Kenya has not been organised in its job creation plan, saying the government of the day is diversifying the market beyond Middle East.

A labour migration policy, he explained, has been considered by the Cabinet with a few adjustments being made for the health sector jobs.

“We are tweaking a few clauses on healthcare workers, then it will be taken for approval. Once passed, we will have a framework of engagement.”

For Kenya Kwanza, the labour market is governed by the economic forces of demand and supply “for which Kenya is on the supply side”.

In this regard, Kenya has signed eight bilateral labour agreements with countries in the Gulf, Europe, and Asia.

Kaituko named Bahrain, Britain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, America, Australia, Germany, and Poland.

“Qatar is in the pipeline. We have signed with Saudi Arabia for skilled labour. A team from there is already here to recruit the nurses,” the PS said.

They should start by firing all matiangi gatekeepers causing passport and other services delays at immigration.

Then streamline embassies.

Yes - also perhaps we need to have passport offices in every county - and at least employment agencies in every county - collecting CVs and trying to export excess labour.
