In response to concerns from Kenyans seeking foreign jobs about the two-month delay in document approval, the government has explained the reasons behind the extended verification process.
Labour Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime announced that Kenyans seeking to travel abroad will continue to undergo a more stringent yet streamlined verification process.
This process requires coordination between Kenyan embassies in destination countries and the respective foreign embassies in Kenya, contributing to the delays experienced in verification.
According to Mwadime, the recent government directive barring recruitment agencies from interviewing Kenyans seeking jobs abroad has also impacted processing times.
