    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr) Murango of Kirinyaga County who is seeking information from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I need to add my voice to that. It is true that we are exporting labour, especially to the Middle East. This can be an important job market for us. We need foreign exchange which is in short supply. If our Government makes government-to-government arrangements and agreements with the countries, where we export labor including but not limited to domestic servants. In this Country, we also have medical doctors that do not have jobs. I know that their services are in high demand in other countries. In supporting Sen. (Dr.) Murango’s Statement, we should look at these issues seriously so that we reduce unemployment in our Country. I hope that when our people go out there to offer their services, their rights will be protected and they will be paid in a way and manner that is not exploitative. I urge the Government to see to it that they make bilateral arrangements and agreements with the concerned countries. I support."
