NTV Kenya: Kenya confronts Russia over illegal military recruitment of its nationals
Kenya confronts Russia over illegal military recruitment of its nationalsKenya is seeking a labour agreement with Russia to stem illegal military recruitment of its citizens. Nairobi formally protested to Moscow late last year, but Russia denied authorising illegal recruitment. However, with the flow of Kenyans heading to Russia to join the army increasing, Kenya feels compelled to hold talks on a possible deal that would make it illegal for its citizens to enlist in the Russian military. During his visit, the Prime Cabinet Secretary is also expected to verify the status of Kenyans and begin talks on a formal labour agreement between Nairobi and Moscow. This should pave the way for the establishment of a Bilateral Labour Agreement with Russia, which will ensure access to legal, genuine, dignified and safe job opportunities in Russia,” said Dr Mudavadi.
