Germany warns Kenyans over scammers swindling job seekers after a deal with President William Ruto
Germany warns Kenyans over scammers swindling job seekers after a deal with President William Ruto.
The German government on Thursday, May 18 expressed its dissatisfaction with the proliferation of online job scammers, barely a week after striking a historic agreement with President William Ruto’s administration.
The German government acknowledged that online scammers had greatly aggravated the ambassadors tasked with ensuring that qualified Kenyans were given jobs in the European country.
Through its Embassy in Nairobi, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration warned Kenyans to be aware of cons who were out to swindle unsuspecting professionals.
“For some time now, there have been unofficial and illegitimate websites that claim to be able to post jobs in Germany. This is a scam,” German Embassy in Nairobi warned Kenyan job seekers.
The German Mission to Kenya also outlined the right procedures for local professionals to pursue in order to secure well-paying jobs in Europe.
“Apply for jobs only through official portals of the German government or at the German embassy in Nairobi,” Germany Embassy explained.
On May 8, Kenya and Germany signed an agreement that could see thousands of Kenyans move to Germany to work.

The agreement is part of a broader effort by Germany to address its labor shortage.
The agreement will allow Kenyans with the necessary skills and qualifications to apply for work visas in Germany. Kenyans who are granted visas will work in a variety of sectors, including healthcare, construction, and manufacturing.
The agreement is expected to benefit both Kenya and Germany. For Kenya, the deal will provide a new source of employment for its jobless graduates.
The pact is still in its early stages, and it is not yet clear how many Kenyans will qualify to work in Germany.
However, the Kenya Kwanza administration noted the agreement is a positive step for both countries and it is expected to have a significant impact on the Kenyan economy.
