Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred
Mutua has announced the availability of 1,000 job opportunities in Saudi Arabia
for qualified Kenyan drivers.
Mutua took to his social media pages to disclose that a
reputable company from Saudi Arabia is urgently looking for drivers for small
vehicles, buses and trucks to work in the Gulf state.
According to the CS, qualified candidates will earn a
monthly salary of 1,400 Saudi Riyals equivalent to Sh50,000.
Successful candidates will also enjoy the perks of free accommodation,
transport, food and medical care upon landing the jobs in Saudi Arabia.
Interested candidates are required to possess an original
driving license and valid certificates.
Mutua further outlined that interested parties with no
passport should not worry as “expedited passport processing will be facilitated”
to all selected candidates.
However, the CS stated that qualified candidates will have
to pay a medical fee of Sh15,000 out of their pockets.
"Prepare in advance and, if possible, have the Sh15,000 medical fee ready. Successful candidates will travel immediately after
completing their medical clearance. This is your chance to secure a job
and better your future," Mutua said.
Mutua highlighted that the recruitment process will take place
in three different counties, Nairobi, Nyeri and Mombasa counties.
Interested applicants from Nairobi County will be required to
avail themselves in Kabete National Polytechnic on December 18 and December
19, 2024, from 8 am to 5 pm.
