Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, Alfred Mutua, has warned that drug abuse, specifically the use of Muguka and bhang, is significantly hindering young Kenyans' chances of securing overseas employment.

• Thousands of jobs abroad are being lost due to failed medical and drug tests.
• CS Alfred Mutua highlighted this issue during a mass overseas recruitment event in Mombasa.
• Countries recruiting Kenyan workers have strict health and drug screening protocols, automatically disqualifying users.
• The CS also cautioned against dealing with fraudulent recruitment agencies.
