    “Why would you leave Korea with a good job to come to Kenya? The economy of Kenya is on a slowdown, there is hardly any employment in Kenya,” Mutua claimed. 

    He intimated that he negotiated for more scholarships for Kenyans with South Korea’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr Park Jin, to increase the number of Kenyans seeking opportunities abroad. 

    “We are seeking to have more Kenyans come and do senior jobs here in South Korea,” he revealed.
