The British government has revealed that it has begun cracking down on migrants illegally working as food delivery riders, a move that could affect Kenyan workers employed by such companies.
According to a statement by the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer, on July 23, the move aims to curb illegal employment in the country, especially among asylum seekers who are not legally permitted to work in the UK.
According to Starmer, the British government will work jointly with major delivery platforms to weed out riders working without proper authorization.
He asserted that the removal of illegal workers in the companies will be fundamental in ensuring fairness for British people in the country's job market, especially the food delivery industry.
