President William Ruto has revealed that foreign digital companies are interested in hiring nearly 300,000 Kenyan employees for their digital industries.

Speaking in Nairobi, Ruto said the government has secured employment opportunities for Kenyans in various companies, including Google, Intel, and Apple.

“We have engaged in negotiations with multiple companies. During my visit to the United States, I toured Google, Intel, and Apple, and they are actively seeking Kenyan youth to work in the digital sector,” he said.

Further, Ruto emphasized that the government is establishing Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) hubs in every ward to train young Kenyans, equipping them with the necessary skills for positions overseas.

“We are committed to constructing ICT hubs in every ward across Kenya, equipped with computers and other essential facilities, with the goal of facilitating employment for 300,400, or even 500 young people in the digital sector,” the president said.
