    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know what time I came in here. I have seen those who have spoken. I want to comment on the Statement by Sen. Orwoba. Two years ago, we talked about First Choice Agency and many others in this House. How long will the Ministry take before taking any action? We need to reign in these agencies. If the Cabinet Secretary is conflicted, then he should do the honourable thing. He should resign, then go and run the agencies. We can request the President to take him back as the Government Spokesperson. He did very well in that position but he is conflicted in the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. Our youths who are working outside the country have said that when the agencies take them out of the country, they are given a two-year contract. They work there for those two years only to realise they have not fully repaid what they paid the agencies by the time they are clearing the contract. We need to look the National Employment Authority Act and see how we can amend it. We do not need these agencies. The National Employment Authority should be the agency doing this recruitment because these are cartels. They are killing our youth. The same thing happens when the Government advertises employment for the National Police Service, Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), National Youth Service and teacher. Our youths and their parents always end up paying Kshs500,000 or even Kshs600,000. The same disease that is happening outside the country is also happening within the country. We need to do something. We should do a surgical surgery. 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 and AudioServices, Senate."
