Mixed Reactions Over Ruto’s Abroad Jobs
Majority Leader of the National Assembly and Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichung’wah has faced criticism for her advice to Kenyans to apply for jobs posted via the National Employment Authority Integrated Management System (NEAIMS). Jobs that President William Ruto has bargained for on his visits to wealthy nations are listed on the website. For example, the portal has 2,500 nursing openings listed.
However, Kenyans have expressed dissatisfaction over the portal’s restricted selection and the platform’s lack of inventiveness compared to that of political rallies.Kenyans expressed their dissatisfaction by pointing out that, contrary to what most of them had been told, the majority of the jobs offered on the website are low-quality positions. Examples of employment that are now advertised include housemaid, driver, babysitter, and cleaner.
“We have heard accounts of Kenyans going abroad in search of chances in nations where they have endured discrimination in the past. One Kenyan who left an online comment said, “You are better off farming in Kenya than living a tough life in another country.”
Further complaining about issues arising from the advertised jobs, members of the public highlighted problems with the website infrastructure, terming it as a poor mockup of the eCitizen platform.
A thousand users at once cannot be supported by this website. One user said, “The user interface is terrible.” A job seeker questioned why the government had not yet fulfilled its pledge to create jobs for Kenyans locally, citing the recent protest by medical students outside the Ministry of Health offices. It is depressing to export labor, particularly in the healthcare industry, when nearby facilities are understaffed and inadequately equipped. Instead of engaging in labor exportation, our government has to put more effort into fostering local employment and bettering business environments, according to another Kenyan. At the Cabinet Retreat on Monday in Naivasha, President William Ruto gave a lecture to the parliamentarians after they acknowledged that they were unaware that the NEAIMS webpage advertised 2,500 nursing employment vacancies.

Some of you claim to not be aware, I’ve heard! Which volume do you want so that you can hear me, and where should I stand to give you the information? The head of state asked questions. “They were featured in the media, and I’ve brought up this topic at every meeting. Aren’t you meant to find out where these openings are after you are seated in those meetings?
