Germany agrees to ease some of its immigration laws to enable Kenyans find employment in the European's biggest economy.

Germany has agreed to open the doors to 250,000 skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers in a controlled and targeted labour migration deal.

Kenya is struggling with increasing difficulties in providing work and sufficient income for its young professionals, while Germany is facing a shortage of skilled labour.

Five Kenyan bus drivers have already been welcomed to Flensburg, in the north of Germany, in a pilot project.

Migration agreements are a central pillar in the German government’s efforts to curb immigration.
