Kenyans seeking employment abroad have been urged to cooperate with the government throughout the recruitment process to avoid falling victim to scams that have recently led unsuspecting individuals into the hands of human traffickers.
Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary, Roseline Njogu, on Tuesday, April 8 said that unregistered travel agencies have become increasingly smarter in escaping legal and administrative measures designed to protect job seekers.
According to Njogu, some victims are complicit in their own trafficking by following unscrupulous agents who use deceit and forged documents to facilitate their departure for notorious job destinations such as Thailand and Myanmar.
Some victims have been trafficked to Lebanon, despite Kenya's ban on labor migration to the country that has been in place for two years now. "We've realised that some Kenyans headed to these red-listed countries give misleading information.
