Currently, if one is reported missing, the government of the country they were in together with Kenya will cooperate in tracing them and ensuring they come back home safely if alive.

"If one is found dead, the two governments with then partner to ensure that the body gets home and the culprit (s) if any is held accountable," said Kaituko.

Additionally, the agents that recruit workers must appear before the Labour Committee for vetting.

This, Kaituko says eliminates fraudsters who are used to taking advantage of unsuspecting Kenyans in need of a job.

The government is also making several amendments that aim at reducing the level of unemployment in the country.

Currently, unemployment is at 12.2 per cent, the highest it has ever been.
