United Kingdom has allowed unemployed Kenya people to work

The British High Commission has announced a new programme that will allow unemployed Kenyan nurses to work in the United Kingdom, as part of a new scheme requested by the Government of Kenya and launched by President Kenyatta on July 29 during his visit to London.

The British High Commission says Kenyan health professionals and health managers who are out of work are eligible of working in the UK, before returning to work in Kenya’s health sector.

According to the Commission, the special arrangement for Kenyan nurses to work the UK was part of a request by Kenya to capitalize in those qualified but unemployed health workers in Kenya.

The exact numbers of those who will go to the UK – and the process for visas – will however be confirmed in the next three months, according to the Commission.
