Government Deregisters More Than 700 Fraudulent Employment Agencies for Foreign Jobs

The government has reported deregistering over 700 employment agents within the last year, citing their involvement in deceiving Kenyans with promises of securing jobs abroad. Roseline Njogu, the Principal Secretary of the State Department for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, emphasized the importance for Kenyans seeking employment opportunities overseas to verify that the agents they engage with are duly registered by the National Employment Authority (NEA).

“Only work with agents licenced by the National Employment Authority. Do not work with travel agents and others calling themselves agents yet they are not,” Njogu said on Tuesday during the inauguration of the Kazi Majuu job fair in Meru.

“At the beginning of last year, the list was 1,200 agents but 700 have been struck off that register because of bad manners and criminal activity,” she added.

Njogu directed Kenyans to visit the NEA’s website (www.neaims.go.ke) to access a comprehensive list of licensed employment agents.

“We regulate the agents such that if we get a complaint about an agent, we revoke their licence. We ensure that the people who keep their licence are those doing what is right,” the PS said.

“We have come hard on those who become criminals and crooks, those who leave people in the diaspora whenever they are in trouble.”

Similarly, PS Njogu advised individuals seeking jobs on cruise ships to collaborate with agents verified by the Kenya Maritime Authority.
