The Kenyan government is planning to publicly "name and shame" fraudulent recruitment agencies exploiting citizens seeking jobs abroad, in a renewed effort to combat human trafficking and online job scams. Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi announced this initiative amid a surge in trafficking cases, particularly in Southeast Asia.

• Since July 2022, the Kenyan Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, has rescued approximately 500 Kenyans, with 126 others still awaiting evacuation from Thailand and Myanmar.
• Musalia Mudavadi revealed that the government has already delisted nearly 600 rogue recruitment agencies.
• The government estimates over 400 Kenyans have fallen victim to scams in the Far East, with some trained in cybercrime, raising national security concerns upon their return.
