Young people in Garissa have been warned against fraudulent overseas recruitment agents — in a session held at Garissa University itself.

Speaking to students and young people at the university about the Kazi Majuu programme, Anne Mruche, Deputy Director at the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, urged job seekers to conduct due diligence before engaging any recruiter, KBC reported on 25 October 2026.

Her warnings, as reported: avoid unlicensed recruiters or agents; beware agents in a hurry to take people abroad; do not pay money to facilitate travel. Young people were also cautioned against leaving the country through smuggling routes or by bus through neighbouring countries.

The session also covered the Diaspora Mashinani initiatives, job opportunities abroad, the welfare of Kenyans working abroad, and investment opportunities back home.

This is a warning story, not a jobs listing. No specific vacancy, employer, destination country, deadline or application link is stated here, because none was given in the reporting seen. Anyone seeking work abroad should verify the recruiter's licence and the job offer through official government channels first.

What we could not verify: the date of the session beyond the 25 October report; the number of young people who attended; any Garissa University statement on the session; any Garissa-specific resumption notice dated 29–31 October.
