Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has announced that some lucky Kenyans will be flown abroad before Christmas.
Mutua has noted that the said individuals will be successful candidates who will go through the National Job Recruitment Program.
According to the CS, the government has had successful recruitment drives in Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui counties. Consequently, the program had secured over 1,000 job opportunities for Nakuru residents.
The Nakuru City drive will take place on Monday, November 25, with the event taking place at the Rift Valley National Polytechnic from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
“We have secured over 1,000 job opportunities for Nakuru residents in countries such as Australia, Qatar, Poland, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Germany, among others,” stated Mutua.
