Labour Cabinet Secretary Dr. Alfred Mutua has refuted claims that Kazi Majuu applicants from the Coast region are stranded, stating that most have already traveled or are awaiting departure, while also addressing issues with drug test failures and rogue recruitment agencies.

• Out of 500 government-funded recruits, 300 have traveled, with 121 awaiting departure, and 84 already holding visas.
• CS Mutua highlighted that many applicants fail drug tests, preventing them from securing visas.
• 600 recruitment agencies have been deregistered in the past year due to fraudulent activities, with one company currently under investigation by the DCI for conning Kenyans.
• The government aims to help over 200,000 Kenyans secure overseas jobs by 2026.
