    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by the Senator of Kirinyaga, Sen. (Dr.) Murango, on the issue that is supposed to be tabled at the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. One, the issue of job opportunities in this country is very important. We have seen that our youth have tried really hard to acquire certifications and credentials. Like everybody, they have dreams to pursue their careers in different parts of this world. I support this Statement and urge ambassadors in different countries, especially those in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to get data of Kenyans in foreign countries, the jobs they do, the database that the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and ambassadors in foreign countries have and the certifications that are being offered? I am happy that last week, my colleagues were able to support my Statement. I had enquired about the courses and technology that institutions are offering that will enable students to get jobs abroad; especially the household jobs among many other technical jobs. That does not limit Kenyans with other levels of education to go abroad to get jobs. It is very important to understand. Through this understandability, we will gauge what we can add or improve on so that we open more doors to our youth and Kenyans who want to work out there. We also need to know the impact of people who have worked abroad and what have they have invested. In a nutshell, we need to open more doors for Kenyans in the diaspora."
