How did Kenyans respond to boda jobs in Dubai?
However, some Kenyans have expressed a different opinion due to the high pre-arrival costs amounting to around KSh 167,900.
Samuel Mwangi said: “Such work by GOK will require KRA approval, EACC approval, approval of HELBwith CRB approval. It is surprising that thousands of Kenyans are employed by a highly developed government that does not impose on them what GOK imposes on the people but you. leaders don't see that getting KRA approval is like trying to get water from stones especially if you are running a business registered with KRA in Kenya.”
Macharia Newton replied: “I am very impressed.”
Adiah Kiyanily asked: “I think the government should pay for those costs. And where do you expect to get this money and they are unemployed?”
Kip Cheboi asked: “Government can cover those small expenses amounting to 167900. What if I qualify and the bank does not give a loan due to reasons such as CRB?”
Ken Gitonga said: “This is a failure of unimaginable proportions. The entire Minister of Labor who runs an overseas recruitment agency. Please read your ministry's mandate and responsibilities. It is unthinkable that this failure can be claimed to protect workers.” rights and ensure a good working environment in the country, but that has not happened and it is a dream to even think that this government will strive to protect the rights of workers.”
Mandela Nelson Dungah “A big fraud. With this economy, where do you expect the common man to get 167k? Which bank can give a loan without collateral while they know very well that you are traveling abroad. Name these banks sir”
