    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many agents who take advantage of our young people who are looking for job opportunities. The Committee on Labour and Social Welfare needs to take up this quickly. Already, there is a report of the House on this. I have challenged the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that they do not even need to travel and waste Kenyans’ money. The report is as new as hardly a year old. Among the very last businesses that we considered in this House during the last Session is a report of the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare on the situation of Kenyan workers in the Gulf region. All the proposals and recommendations are therein. It is just for them to hold the Ministry of Labour and Skills Development to account and ensure that they do the right thing by streamlining this particular sector. They need to have this technology that is available to help them achieve on that end. Finally, with regard to the Petition by Sen. Githuku of Lamu County, I did not fully understand why they picked only five or six counties. Football is a popular sport across Kenya. I really did not follow through clearly. I wanted to understand why they arrived at Kshs302 billion and the reason they chose five out of the 47 counties. Nonetheless, I support any proposal, idea or decision that will enable our young people have a sporting chance. Therefore, I wish that we support it wholesomely. I have seen the new Cabinet Secretary (CS) has put in place a Technical Committee to advise it. I have mixed feelings about it but I do not want to speak a lot about it. However, what we need more even before even the technical advice is to pull resources and ensure that our sporting teams and facilities are facilitated in terms of resources to do the right thing."
