Recruitment agencies involved in deploying Kenyans to fake or slave-like jobs overseas face a Sh10 million fine or a five-year imprisonment if MPs approve a new Bill that seeks to protect migrant workers from abuse.

The Overseas Workers Bill, 2021 makes it an offence for any person who recruits for non-existent work or changes the job description midstream without the knowledge of the emigrants.
