John Kamau has lived in the United States for the last 10 years. On his recent visit to Kenya, he was bombarded with so many questions from friends and relatives that he got concerned about the sudden interest by Kenyans to relocate.
“Kenyans see others living abroad and assume it is all fun and games. I know the Central Bank of Kenya said for the 12 months leading to March 2019, Kenyans in diaspora had remitted Sh 270 billion but I want to caution that the grass is not always greener on the other side,” says Kamau.
