Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has highlighted several ways Kenyans can spot a bogus job offer from any foreign country.

Speaking during an interview on Saturday night at Citizen TV, CS Mutua noted that several red flags do not necessarily involve being asked to pay for a job that traps unsuspecting Kenyans into modern-day slavery and worse.

According to the CS, these might include the lack of a job offer, which the Ministry of Labour attested to before leaving the country. "Usually, before you leave the country, there is a job offer that has to be attested by the Ministry of Labour, so if someone has sent you a job offer, ask them if they can see the demand or the offer that was given to you to recruit us, attested by the Kenyan embassy?" A tortured Kenyan man is seen at the Phop Phra police station in Phop Phra district of Tak on Sunday, February 9.
