- Delay in the approval of the Draft Labour Mobility Management Bill, which is affecting labour mobility processes, particularly the regulation of recruitment agencies, coordination among institutions and compliance with agreed labour mobility frameworks. - Delay in the operationalization of the labour mobility agreement with the United Kingdom, resulting in slow finalization of operating modalities, delayed posting of a Labour Attaché and a lag in the receipt of job orders for Kenyan workers.
- Cabinet to prioritize the approval and subsequent implementation of the Draft Labour Mobility Management Bill to provide a clear legal and institutional framework that supports effective regulation of labour mobility, improved inter-agency coordination and implementation of existing labour mobility arrangements. - The State Department for Labour and Skills Development, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, to expedite the implementation of the operating modalities of the UK Agreement, facilitating the posting of a Labour Attaché to the United Kingdom and engaging the relevant UK authorities to activate job orders and placement under the agreement.
The five (5) signed BLAs/MOUs are in force with the following countries: Germany (2024), the United Kingdom (2021) on the recruitment of healthcare professionals, the United Arab Emirates (2018), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2017) and the State of Qatar (2012). Labour attaches had been posted in three (3) countries. Labour attaches have been posted in four (4) countries.
Delay in getting mutually agreeable dates for signing completed BLAs. The negotiation and conclusion of BLAs are contingent upon the readiness, priorities and internal processes of destination countries. As a result, progress on some agreements may experience delays beyond the control of the Government of Kenya, particularly where partner countries require extended consultations, legal reviews or alignment with their domestic labour migration policies. The negotiation and finalization of BLAs require sustained technical engagements, consultative meetings and bilateral missions between partner countries. However, limited financial resources to support these engagements can slow down the pace of concluding Agreements.
Strengthen structured engagement with destination countries by establishing regular technical consultations and joint working mechanisms to expedite the negotiation and conclusion of BLAs. Allocate sufficient financial resources to support bilateral meetings, technical missions and stakeholder consultations necessary for timely conclusion of BLAs.
Two BLAs with Oman and Kuwait are complete and ready for signing however pending mutually agreeable dates between the two countries for signing.
- Skills mismatch limiting the absorption of vacancies posted. - Delays in conclusion of BLAs to enable Kenyans get access to more opportunities in various labour markets. - Limited job orders from destination countries, constraining placement opportunities for qualified job seekers. - Unethical recruitment practices and the rise of unscrupulous agencies, undermining safe and orderly labour migration. - Fragmented labour migration placement data across multiple government institutions, leading to incomplete capture of job placement information as different agencies maintain separate datasets and reporting systems. - Delay in the approval of the Draft Labour Mobility Management Bill leading to slowing of the establishment of a comprehensive legal and institutional framework to regulate labour mobility and expand overseas employment opportunities.
-The State Department for Labour and Skills Development to expand access to more labour markets by initiating BLAs, to enable Kenyan job seekers get more opportunities. -The National Employment Authority to enhance regulation, monitoring and enforcement against unethical recruitment agencies and promote compliance with ethical recruitment standards. - Establish an inter-agency labour migration data coordination or committee involving the State Department for Labour and Skills Development, State Department for Diaspora Affairs, State Department for National Government Co-ordination and State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services to harmonize data collection, sharing and reporting on labour migration and placements. -Funding approval and disbursement from the National Treasury to enable the posting of additional labour attaches to increase the sourcing of jobs in the destination countries. - Requesting the support of the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary to facilitate the approval and fast-tracking of the Draft Labour Mobility Management Bill when it is resubmitted for consideration and tabling before Cabinet.
A total of 23,177 Kenyans were placed in employment abroad.
None.
