Kenyan Workers' Rights: Refunds for Overseas Jobs, Processing Fees Explained Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, Dr. Alfred Mutua, recently addressed the rights of Kenyans who reconsider working abroad. Many Kenyans seek overseas employment, often through recruitment agencies. However, some change their minds and seek refunds. Dr. Mutua clarified the process. "If you change your mind and don't want to travel abroad for work, it's your right to get your money back from the agency you paid," Dr. Mutua stated, adding, "But remember, there will be a processing charge." This statement clarifies the legal position for Kenyans. While they have the right to a refund, they should expect deductions for administrative costs incurred by the agency.
