PS Njogu echoed Mudavadi’s sentiments, urging the teachers to always be their brother’s keeper while working abroad and to engage Kenya missions abroad in case of any challenges.

“The government reiterates its commitment to safeguard and protect the rights and welfare of the Kenyan diaspora and to integrate their valuable contributions into our nation-building processes,” Mudavadi stated. He emphasized that the teachers’ success abroad would pave the way for more Kenyans to explore opportunities in the global job market.
The recruitment process was conducted by Consult Centre Limited, a National Employment Authority registered agency, in conjunction with PESUAR International Job Placement Consultancy, a diaspora-owned and registered recruitment agency in the US.
This collaboration ensured that the selected teachers met the high standards required for their new roles.
The event was also attended by Ambassador Isaiya Kabira, Secretary-Investments and Entrepreneurship, and Irene Karari, Director of the Skills and Expertise Division.
They reiterated the importance of the teachers’ mission and the positive impact their work would have on Kenya’s reputation and future opportunities for other professionals.
