President William Ruto has said he will remain committed to realising job creation for the youths according to the Kenya Kwanza manifesto.

The head of state has said next month, he will travel to Saudi Arabia to sign an agreement that calls for the two nations to hire 500,000 Kenyans.

“Those from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) want workers. Next month I will be traveling to Saudi Arabia to sign a deal in which 500,000 workers are needed,” President Ruto said.

Ruto stated on Sunday at Deliverance Church in Langata that job options will not include domestic labour but rather professional and skilled jobs.

“Kenyans won’t go to do domestic work. We have signed bilateral agreements that include semi-skilled, skilled and professional jobs,” he said.

In addition, he advocated for the establishment of ICT hubs in each ward so that youths can be trained in digital technologies.

He stated that corporations such as Google, Intel, and Apple have admitted that they have work opportunities for over 300,000 Kenyans.
