Judith Chepchirchir, the woman at the centre of the controversial overseas employment agency, has claimed that some politicians were out to cripple her business.
Chepchirchir, CEO of First Choice recruitment and consultancy agency says she has already refunded money to 448 potential workers who failed to secure employment as earlier promised.
Speaking in Kabiyet of Mosop sub-county, Nandi, the First Choice boss also clarified that she would appear before the senate select committee and had nothing to hide.
Accompanied by parents whose children had secured jobs abroad plus tens of workers who are waiting to travel overseas for work, Chepchirchir said her firm should not be blamed for missed opportunities.
“One cannot travel abroad without a police certificate of good conduct because there are delays in the process while the same to travel passports…if at the time a worker receives it and time of report has elapsed, who is to blame?” Chepchirchir posed.
She lashed out at those equating her firm to the Uasin-Gishu County Finland education scholarship saying they don’t engage in securing education opportunities nor do they send workers to Finland.
“We secure employment opportunities to countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom only,” Chepchirchir asserted.
