Gulfway Recruitment Company Ltd was named in published reports among recruitment agencies blacklisted by the Kenyan government for allegedly operating without proper authorization while offering overseas employment opportunities. The company was reportedly part of a wider group of firms targeted in a government crackdown on questionable recruitment practices.
According to the reports, Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua announced action against 32 agencies accused of defrauding or misleading Kenyans seeking jobs abroad. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations was also reported to be examining an additional 153 recruitment firms over similar allegations involving overseas employment scams.
The claims concerning Gulfway Recruitment Company Ltd are based on government-linked reporting and ongoing investigations and should be understood in that context. Job seekers are advised to confirm that recruitment agencies are properly licensed by the relevant Kenyan authorities before paying fees, submitting personal documents, or accepting overseas employment offers.
