Abstract Kenya is an emerging labour emigration country in East Africa, and since 2022 has prioritized labour migration as an economic tool to increase remittances and deal with high unemployment. To facilitate this program Kenya has increased institutional capacity, introduced new regulations, and initiated negotiation of 21 new BLAs. The GCC countries represent a main destination for Kenyan low wage workers as well as the source of many worker abuses.
