PS Njogu said the comprehensive migration and mobility Partnership Agreement creates a framework for the diaspora jobs in Germany.
She explained that the opportunities are open to foreign labour and Kenyans can start by visiting the websites to secure placement.
“On the website, you can find a lot of information about what jobs exist, then you can search by journalist, city or such kind of things. These opportunities are open to foreign labour, then you can start from there,” she said.
Njogu said there is a part where on the websites where Kenyans can search and apply for the jobs as an individual and many people have benefited from this.
