may 16 2023 REPLACEMENTS: German government in talks to allow 250,000 Kenyan migrants to fill worker shortage
The German government is working on an agreement to allow 250,000 Kenyan migrants to enter the country and fill a shortage of skilled workers.
In a joint press conference, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Kenyan President William Ruto announced that Germany would bring in skilled and semi-skilled workers as well as professionals to work in the country. Kenya is also pushing Germany to loosen its immigration restrictions on those coming from Kenya to facilitate the process.
It is not clear, however, how losing a quarter of a million skilled workers would impact the Kenyan economy. The country is already dealing with extreme poverty, inadequate health services and one of the highest rates of HIV in the world. At least 19 million Kenyans drink unsafe water, with fatal infections and diarrhea a constant problem and more than 5,000 children dying each year as a result.
Kenya also has one of the highest crime rates in Africa, with rampant corruption and police working directly with criminals by providing firearms to gangs, assisting in the transportation of stolen goods, and releasing criminals in exchange for bribes. In addition, many people who have obtained credentials from universities there got them through bribery, cheating and other dishonest means, making it difficult for European authorities to determine whose qualifications are legitimate.
