"content": "The Ministry contracted accredited private agencies, one of them being Blue Wave International Services Limited, to facilitate recruitment to the UAE. It also partnered with the Youth Enterprise Fund to provide soft loans ranging from Ksh185,000 to Ksh650,000 to cover for agency fees, air tickets, visas and medical expenses for successful candidates. Whereas the Ministry’s initiative demonstrates a proactive approach to reducing unemployment by tapping into the opportunities in the global labour market, several concerns have been raised about the process. Notably, there are claims of exploitation and unethical practices during recruitment process, where some private agencies charged illegal fees or mismanaged funds meant for job seekers."
