Kenyans on social media were taken aback after the Germany Government through the Ministry of Interior refuted claims that there was specifics in Ruto’s workers deal.
According to reports by the kenyan government and the President, Ruto’s workers deal involved a signature with the Germany Government to ensure that 250,000 Kenyan workers get opportunities in the country.
“The agreement with Germany will unlock 250,000 job opportunities for young people from Kenya. That is a bilateral agreement between Germany and Kenya. It’s a win win because there is a big labour deficit in Germany and a big labour oversupply in kenya.”

However, according to the Germany Interior Ministry, the information was false and misleading. According to the Ministry, there was no number agreed with President Ruto on how many kenyans will be allowed into their country.
Further, the ministry directed Kenyans who are willing to apply for the skilled jobs in the country to prepare for the strictest requirements set by the Germany Government before they can apply.
“This Information (250K Jobs) is clearly false. The agreement between Germany and Kenya does not include any numbers or quotas of skilled workers who will have the opportunity to work in Germany. All applicants must fulfil the strict requirements of the German Skilled Immigration Act.”
Kenyans have taken to social media to express their disappointments over the developments, given that Germany has the most strict set of immigration rules including monetary requirements before being granted a visa.
