    "content": "Our Government has been dragging its feet on signing the BLA between Kenya and Saudi Arabia, yet we cannot provide jobs here. We are a country that is seen as a labour exporter. This country does not have oil. The experiment that happened in Turkana has not yielded much. We do not have gold. Our biggest resource is not under the ground; it is above the ground; it is our people. To show that a Government is sluggish or unwilling to facilitate these people who have gone to school, paid fees and done everything, but cannot get accreditation, is extremely unfortunate. I hope when my friend and former Vice Chancellor (VC), Prof. Magoha, comes, he can explain that. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have asked these questions. That matter was supposed to be under Cabinet Secretary (CS) Macharia because he is the one who deals with that sector. I do not how it was moved, Sen. Ngugi Githua. There is something that is sitting on CS Macharias’ table. I have tried to communicate to him today, and he told me to talk to his PS. We brought the issue of digital taxi workers, Uber and Bolt . We agreed on regulations because there is a minimum amount that should be set in terms of the fees. These people are complaining that they are suffering. I know that they will soon go on strike if we do not have those regulations passed. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that you know about this issue. You were recently called by a colleague who was asking where this matter has reached. The Committee on Delegated Legislation must tell us where these regulations have reached. What is the Ministry engaging consultants for? We just need to agree on a pricing formular that takes into account fuel, wear and tear, carwash and all these other variables."
