The Ministry of Labour is now inviting applications from
jobless Kenyan nurses seeking employment opportunities in the UK. This was
confirmed on Monday when the ministry began asking willing applicants to
register through a specialized portal.
This opportunity comes after Kenya managed to strike a deal with the UK on July 29. The signed pact is expected
to benefit unemployed surplus medics in the country. President Uhuru Kenyatta
signed the agreement during his visit to London as part of a new scheme that
Kenya had requested.
“The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection has been
mandated to spearhead the implementation of the agreement in terms of
recruitment and facilitating the migration of qualified candidates to the
United Kingdom,” said the ministry in a public notice.
“The first batch of
healthcare workers, targeted for the recruitment under the agreement, are
nurses. The Ministry of Labour, therefore, invites interested and eligible
candidates to register for consideration of the programme.”
