Kenya supports sending workers abroad, with 200 soon heading to Qatar as police officers.

Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Labour, Alfred Mutua, supports the government's initiative to send workers overseas, countering critics who see it as modern slavery. Mutua argues that workers returning from countries like Qatar bring new skills back to Kenya. The government is also adjusting training programs to meet international standards, with over 6,000 workers certified and nearly 300 set to travel to Qatar soon. The initiative includes creating jobs locally and online. By month's end, 200 Kenyans will join Qatar as police officers.
