AfD Parliamentary Group Inquires about Skilled Workers from Kenya
Berlin (hib/tom) – The AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag has submitted a minor question to the federal government on the subject of “Skilled workers from Kenya”. In it, the group asks, among other things, how many skilled workers from Kenya have been granted a residence permit in Germany since 2015, and whether there are any plans to increase the number of skilled workers from Kenya.
The AfD parliamentary group justifies its request by saying that Kenya is a “promising partner country” for Germany in terms of skilled worker immigration. The country has a “well-educated and motivated workforce” and is “politically stable.”
The federal government has not yet answered the minor question.
Background:
The German government has been working for several years to attract more skilled workers from abroad. In 2020, the Skilled Workers Immigration Act came into force, which makes it easier for skilled workers from non-EU countries to immigrate to Germany.
Kenya is one of the countries that Germany has identified as a potential source of skilled workers. In 2019, the German government signed a memorandum of understanding with Kenya on cooperation in the field of skilled worker immigration.
The AfD parliamentary group has repeatedly criticized the government’s skilled worker immigration policy. The group argues that the government is “flooding” Germany with “cheap labor” and that this is driving down wages for German workers.
The federal government has rejected these allegations. The government argues that skilled worker immigration is necessary to meet the demand for skilled workers in Germany and that it does not have a negative impact on wages.
