Germany to welcome 250,000 Kenyans in labour deal - eviltoast
German opens door to Kenyan workers in labour deal
www.bbc.com
Germany agrees to ease some of its immigration laws to enable Kenyans find employment in the European's biggest economy.

Germany has agreed to open the doors to 250,000 skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers in a controlled and targeted labour migration deal.

Kenya is struggling with increasing difficulties in providing work and sufficient income for its young professionals, while Germany is facing a shortage of skilled labour.

Five Kenyan bus drivers have already been welcomed to Flensburg, in the north of Germany, in a pilot project.

Migration agreements are a central pillar in the German government’s efforts to curb immigration.

    "The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "

    I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.

    In any case this is great news for both countries.
