Thursday January 17, 2019-The Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed recruitment agencies to pay Kshs1.5 million as a security deposit for every Kenyan citizen hired in Saudi Arabia.

This was announced by Labour Cabinet Secretary, Ukur Yatani, who was speaking at the Ministry headquarters after signing a deal with top Saudi Arabia Government officials. Speaking after the signing of the agreement, Yatani said the decision will guarantee the safety of Kenyans nationals working in the Middle East country. This comes even a Government continued to vet the agencies to safeguard the workers aboard. So far, only 100 agencies made it through the vetting.  "We already have 20,000 people working in Saudi Arabia and believe more than 100,000 will be employed in a few years to come now that we guarantee safety," he announced.  Many stories have emerged about Kenyans being mistreated in Saudi Arabia and the money is meant to stop all that mistreatment.
