"In line with the mandate of @Diaspora_KE to promote the welfare of the Kenyan diaspora, the recruitment initiative offers comprehensive support during the transition period through pre-departure sessions," said the ministry.

The Head of State has also mentioned that he has had several conversations with foreign countries to give work chances to Kenyan youngsters and encourage Kenya Kwanza MPs to help him achieve his goals.
