This Constituency was the larger Eldoret East before it was split to Ainabkoi and Moiben constituencies. What Hon. Bartoo has done, in kitting the village elders, is commendable. In my opinion, she is a trailblazer in this particular industry. I also thank the village elders for the commendable job they are doing for this country. We would like them to know that this country recognises their output in their villages. They have done great work. We also assure them that we will continue to support them in their endeavour to ensure that there is peace and understanding in the villages. May God bless you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the registration and regulation of education and immigration consultancy services in the country. The Directorate of Immigration Services (DIS) regulates education and immigration consultancy services in the country by issuing Class G permits to individuals or partnerships engaging in these services. These services typically assist with career counselling by helping students explore different career paths and find the most suitable academic programmes in the right universities based on their academic profiles, goals and preferences. These consultancy companies also assist with completing university applications, including follow-ups and ensuring all documents are submitted correctly and providing support with visa applications, including gathering necessary documents, completing forms and managing the application process. In the recent past, there has been a growing concern over the exploitation of unsuspecting students by rogue education and immigration consultants operating in the country. These entities often lure students and their families with attractive offers and promises of guaranteed admission to foreign institutions and swift immigration processes. However, many of these promises turn out to be misleading, resulting in significant financial loss and emotional distress to the affected individuals. This worrying trend underscores the urgent need for stricter regulation and oversight of the education and immigration consultancy sector to protect vulnerable students from such unscrupulous practices. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

The number of companies currently registered with the Ministry to offer education and immigration consultancy services and the minimum requirements for registration. 2. The status of registration of Marg Education and Immigration Consultancy Limited and the period for which it has been licensed to provide education and immigration services to Kenyan citizens. 3. Provide a detailed list including the names, educational qualifications and counties of residence of students who have successfully and unsuccessfully obtained education and immigration status through the services of Marg Education and Immigration Consultancy Limited. 4. The standard terms of agreement between these companies and the students seeking education and immigration services and an indication of whether the Ministry considers the terms to constitute fair trade practices. 5. Measures put in place to protect economically disadvantaged students and families from potential exploitation, especially in light of the current economic challenges. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
