    "content": "8. Promoting ethical recruitment. 9. Cancellation or revocation of licence of an employment agency that fails to observe the provisions of the existing laws and regulations. The second question was on how the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection works together with the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, while ensuring that it does not encroach on the roles of the Ministry. I have the response. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection ensures that the procedures for labour migration are carried out in orderly and safe manner. At the same time, it ensures that migrant workers undergo pre-departure training and orientation. The Ministry collaborates with the Directorate of Diaspora Affairs and the State Department for Diaspora Affairs in ensuring that migrant workers in distress are repatriated back to the country. In cases involving deaths of migrant workers, similar coordination is needed to assist bereaved families bring home bodies of their loved ones. The third question was on why and how private recruitment agencies banned by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection continue to recruit migrant workers. The National Employment Authority carries out impromptu inspections to ensure that recruitment agencies adhere to the laws and regulations governing the operations. Those whose licences are either cancelled, suspended or blacklisted are not supposed to recruit migrant workers. All reported cases are dealt with in accordance with the law. The National Employment Authority periodically publishes in the national dailies all private employment agencies that have been blacklisted and their operational licences revoked. Most importantly, Kenyans are also advised to regularly visit the National Employment Authority website, www.neaims.go.ke, to access the list of registered private employment agencies and their current status. The same response was relayed to Hon. Joshua Kandie. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
