NAIROBI, Kenya, June 12 \u2014 The government has dismissed reports that Kuwait has imposed a new ban on Kenyan workers, clarifying that recent changes announced by Kuwaiti authorities do not amount to fresh restrictions on the recruitment of Kenyans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labour and Skills Development Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime said reports suggesting that Kuwait had barred the recruitment of domestic workers from Kenya were based on a misinterpretation of a recent communication issued by the Gulf nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clarification follows widespread media reports claiming that Kenya had been added to a list of countries from which domestic workers cannot be recruited into Kuwait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted Kenya voluntarily suspended the deployment of domestic workers to Kuwait nearly a decade ago, and that position remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe recent communication by the Kuwaiti authorities does not constitute a new restriction on Kenya. Rather, it reflects the existing operational and regulatory framework governing domestic worker recruitment in Kuwait,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Labour Ministry emphasized that the development should not be viewed as a new policy action targeting Kenya or Kenyan workers, but rather as a continuation of the long-standing status quo governing the domestic labour sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government disclosed that Kenya and Kuwait are engaged in consultations aimed at establishing a bilateral framework to regulate the domestic labour sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing discussions are expected to develop mutually agreed procedures, safeguards and mechanisms to facilitate future cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry further clarified that the restrictions apply only to domestic workers and do not affect other categories of Kenyan professionals seeking employment opportunities in Kuwait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll other categories of Kenyan workers remain eligible to pursue employment opportunities in Kuwait in accordance with the laws and regulations of both countries,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government described Kuwait as an important and growing destination for Kenyan migrant labour, noting that increasing numbers of Kenyans have secured employment across various sectors in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said ongoing engagements between Nairobi and Kuwait City are aimed at strengthening safe, orderly and mutually beneficial labour mobility arrangements while safeguarding the welfare of Kenyan workers abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clarification comes amid growing public concern over overseas employment opportunities for Kenyans, particularly in the Gulf region, which remains a key destination for migrant workers seeking jobs abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
