    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and the Senate Majority Leader for the questions. The Ministry has embarked on labour migration because the Government is focused on that. I have clear directions that enable me sign bilateral agreements with various countries in order to create job opportunities for Kenyans. Currently, we are processing the bilateral labour agreements. I will mention a few countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We have discussions with Austria and Germany. I cannot remember the other countries, but they are 15. The agreements are at advanced stage are with Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Austria and Germany. We should be able to get job orders from these countries within this year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of jobless Kenyans, especially our youth. They are more than five million and they require those opportunities. We are progressing well and have the support of His Excellency the President towards that. From our end, we have already requested for the signing of those bilateral labour agreements. We are only waiting for feedback from the various countries."
