The government has broken its silence regarding an alleged recruitment drive targeting Kenyans for lucrative jobs in South Korea.
In a statement on Thursday, May 8, the Permanent Secretary for the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, Roseline Kathure Njogu, denied the government's involvement in the alleged recruitment drive, which has been deemed fraudulent.
According to the PS, the fake job advertisements specifically mentioned opportunities in "Rural Plus Centres" located in Haenam, Wando, Jindo, Yeongam, and Jangheung counties in South Korea's Jeollanam-do province.
The government, however, conducted investigations in collaboration with the Kenya Embassy in Seoul and South Korean authorities, and it was established that the job opportunities were not genuine.
