Germany Interior Ministry denies claims of Kenya securing a deal for 250, 000 jobs after a bilateral agreement
Germany Interior Ministry denies claims of Kenya securing a deal for 250, 000 jobs after a bilateral agreement.
The German Government on Saturday openly refuted claims that Kenya had secured a deal with over 250, 000 jobs for its citizens in the European country following a bilateral agreement with President William Ruto during his tour.
Germany’s Interior Ministry on Sunday released a statement, dismissing the deal, after BBC World reported the deal on its news website.
The country’s Interior Ministry, rubbished the report stating that the information, specifically on the 250,000 jobs was false, stating that the agreement did not have any deal on specific numbers.
The Ministry went ahead to explain that in the event of an agreement, all applicants have to undergo a specific shortlisting that includes the requirements of their Immigration Act.
‘’This information is clearly false. The agreement between Germany and Kenya does not include any numbers or quotas of skilled workers who will have the opportunity to work in Germany,’’ the statement read in part.
‘’All applicants must fulfill the strict requirements of the German Skilled Immigration Act,’’ the statement added.

According to the report by BBC, Germany had agreed to open the doors to 250,000 skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers in a controlled and targeted labor migration deal.
The report added that the deal would help both countries address their labor problems, where Kenya was set to benefit by getting job markets for its population that is faced with limited job opportunities as Germany was to benefit by getting access to the labour force.
Information from State House Kenya also confirmed the signing of the deal, indicating that Kenya had secured the deal during a meeting involving the Kenyan delegation and their German counterparts held at the Chancellery in Berlin.
‘’Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi of Kenya and German Minister for Interior and Homeland Nancy Faeler signed the historic deal.’’ State House stated in a statement.
