The Ministry of Labour has dismissed claims that Kuwait has barred Kenyans looking for job opportunities in the Gulf nation, citing that it was a miscommunication.

This follows a widespread report that Kenya had been added to a list of countries from which domestic workers cannot be recruited into Kuwait.

In a statement, Principal Secretary for Labour and Skills Development Shadrack Mwadime said Kenya voluntarily suspended the deployment of domestic workers to Kuwait about a decade ago, and that position remains unchanged.
