    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, regarding concerns raised by the Kenyan youth about internship opportunities offered by the Public Service Commission (PSC). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State steps taken to address the concerns of applicants for the public service internship programme, who have reported frustration with frequent technical issues and slow performance of the online application system and outline measures implemented to ensure the system is user-friendly, efficient, transparent and accurate. (2) Provide details on the system in place by the PSC for absorbing interns into Government Ministries and State agencies, upon completion of the internships, stating whether there is a traceability mechanism to prioritize interns for future employment opportunities in public service. (3) Explain the criteria used for the recruitment of interns and state whether past recruitment processes reflect the diversity of Kenyan communities in accordance with Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution, providing a breakdown of the distribution of internship opportunities by county. (4) Justify the exclusion of diploma and certificate holders from eligibility for internships in public service. I thank you."
