"content": "It is important to note that the issue of labour migration has become very important. I am encouraged to see that countries are coming together to enable market negotiations about tea, coffee and even miraa . I would like to bring to the attention of this House that there is another opportunity for Kenya in the labour migration sector which is fetching our country more foreign exchange than the tea and coffee sub-sectors. I am looking forward to a time when the ACP-EU, will do more of bilateral labour agreements, so that we can offer our young people opportunities to go and work abroad, fetch Kenya more foreign exchange, and ensure that we grow our economy by the remittances that will be done. The discussion was also centred on poverty eradication. It is a fact that the drought situation in this country is causing Kenyans to experience difficulties in putting food on the table. It is important that countries come together to find solutions to problems that are facing our people. With those few remarks, I support."
