Kenyans in diaspora are key to economic growth agenda
Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection Alfred Mutua interacts with job seekers at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre following a mass recruitment drive for opportunities in Qatari in October 2024.
Without doubt, the Kenyan diaspora plays a vital role in the country’s development and socio-economic transformation. This fact is underlined by the nearly Sh600 billion remittances they sent home last year.
The number of Kenyans overseas currently stands at an estimated 4 million, with most of them working in the Middle East and European countries. A good number are in the US, Asia, Latin America, Canada and Australia. In Africa, thousands of Kenyans are in South Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
