The government, through the Ministry of Labour, has announced 600 vacancies for motorcycle riders in the United Arab Emirates.

Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua said officials from the Middle East country will be in Kenya next week to interview and hire the riders.

The qualifications for the job include a valid Kenyan passport or proof of an eCitizen application in progress, a current Certificate of Good Conduct or proof of an eCitizen application in progress and valid rider’s license.

Mutua said experience is not mandatory but is an added advantage.

Successful candidates will undergo four months of training in Dubai, during which the company will assist them in obtaining UAE riding licenses.

Riders will earn up to KSh 104,000 per month. Apart from the salary, they will be provided with free accommodation, a work motorcycle, comprehensive medical care and a work visa.

However, Mutua said the company does not cover pre-arrival costs and the riders interested in the jobs will have to part with KSh 167,900 which includes their air tickets.
