In the past, there has been numerous groups of people from the same homeland who have moved to different foreign lands all over the world. Kenyas citizens have moved to different countries worldwide in search of better jobs with better pay. Many are the citizens who have travelled far and wide every traveller moving for different reasons. The bottom line is every single one of them can really use some diaspora support services for Kenyans.

To mention but a few is searching for better jobs with a good salary, spirit of adventure and some travel out of their country for further education. While these Kenyans are out of their country, they bring back home a lot of goodies, which are used to boost their mother lands economical value. When they send cash back home we find that the countrys foreign currency rate increases and this boosts its economical value since the shilling gains value to the foreign currencies like the dollar.

Various sectors are expanded when there is a good flow of currency into the country. These includes agriculture which is the most relied sector for the economys growth, real estate which has recorded a high growth rate recently and other sectors to name but a few. When these sectors continue to grow employees that depend on them are quickly absorbed and starts working either directly or indirectly.

Let us have a wider view of these sectors starting with the highly relied one which is agriculture. Kenyans who live abroad send money back to the country which they require it to be used in different ways like growing, processing raw materials into finished products, searching for better market and disbursing the high quality agricultural products which are sold to both regional and international markets. These triggers to employments of agricultural officers, farm workers who ensure they take care of the produce, people who supply agro chemicals and fertilizers and so on.

Real estate is another sector that is highly boosted when foreign cash is destined to the Kenyan soil. Having been one of the sectors that have a very fast growth rate, it has greatly opened up job opportunities for the common citizen who was jobless and several other specialists. Architects, electricians, interior designers, suppliers of building materials and others get employed directly into this field; countrys tax increase since the rate of which money circulate is high.

The country moves at greater heights in matters of economy since the tax that is generated from different sectors which bring forth good cash in return and the government uses it in national development. This is achieved by banks and companies of which cash is sent through which are taxed. The companies include Western Union and Money Gram which play a great economic role.

Companies which provide legal advice and are not left out within aiding economic growth. They help citizens who live abroad in financial advice, better investment opportunities and advice them on the pros and cons of businesses they would like to venture in . Government also taxes these consortiums and cash used for economic growth.

In the long run, the economy grows at a high rate. This helps every stake holder who ventures into the field which investments are channeled in directly. Contrary to the views of critics who think that the country has a lot to lose than gain by sending these competent individuals in foreign countries, this strategies works for the betterment of these individuals and the country at large.
