The government has cautioned Kenyans planning to travel to Malaysia against unscrupulous travel agencies luring people under the pretext of securing job opportunities in the Asian country.
In a statement on Thursday, the Kenyan High Commission in Kuala Lumpur disclosed that it had received reports that several Kenyans were stranded after being lured to travel to Malaysia.
According to the commission, unscrupulous agencies took advantage of the 30-day visa-free entry to Malaysia, leaving the unsuspecting Kenyans stranded and subject to overstay fines.
Emphasising the matter, the commission urged Kenyans planning to travel to Malaysia that the 30-day visa-free entry was only based on a bilateral arrangement of reciprocity.
