    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I welcome Hon. Bore to the Senate. It is important to note that this is the only Cabinet Minister who votes for me. Another way to put it is that she comes from my County of Kericho. Therefore, I welcome her to respond to the issues that Members have with regard to her Ministry. She knows well that Kenya's leading export to the world presently is no longer tea and coffee as it used to be back in the day. In fact, our premium earners as an economy is not even tourism. Foreign remittance from Kenyans that labour abroad has overtaken all those sectors. Therefore, it is a place that we must pay close attention to as a country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would wish to know from the Cabinet Secretary, because if you read through the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) manifesto, of the Kenya Kwanza administration that she serves, we made a promise and commitment to the people of Kenya. It was that as an administration, we shall ensure that we secure upwards of a million jobs for our young people in various capitals of the world through the signing of bilateral labour agreements with other countries. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall encourage those countries to move away from the traditional market of domestic workers and security personnel that we are known for. Our labour competes with the very best in the world and it has been confirmed by studies. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
