    "content": "It means that even as you train as a young person, you are able to log in from your village Polytechnic somewhere down in Busia to see that as you are doing a certificate in a VTC, the next institutions of TVETs that are available to help you grow and enhance your career are found in a particular part of the country. Eventually, you will see where the job opportunities are available in this and that other part of the country. I wish Sen. Oketch Gicheru was part of us while I debate this because, he had brought something about our foreign missions and part of the work that we should be doing. I know it is nice of him and we celebrated when he brought the Statement about the Coordination in Ministry of Foreign Affairs and activities at the office of the Deputy President. However, I feel we may even raise the argument and the debate in this House and press demand to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Apart from the simple, mundane duties of coordination, is to know that Kenya is celebrated globally for the kind of skilled labour that we give to the rest of the world, from the Gulf countries, even to the nurses that we send all the way to the UK. This is the time that we shall be demanding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I know for a fact that, part of the hindrances that young people run into, even in the Gulf countries are that Kenyans are not allowed to partake in many of these skilled labour. Sen. Kajwang’, you may need to countercheck. This is because of very simple policy agreements that do not exist between us and some of these countries. It is something we should push as Parliament, to show and demonstrate to them that some of our plumbers and masons are even better than the Indians that they use, say, in the UAE. That our training match pound for pound with the very best in the world, then, we should be able to reach --- Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will stop at that because I see that time is out. Nonetheless, I celebrate the good work of this Committee; a good Bill that is sponsored by Sen. M. Kajwang’. I thank you."
