Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour regarding the welfare of Kenyans working in the Middle East. In November 2024, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection launched a job recruitment programme to connect skilled and semi-skilled Kenyans with overseas employment opportunities, particularly in Gulf countries that include Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The programme, which targeted placing 21,000 Kenyans in overseas jobs in the first phase, is part of the Kenya Kwanza Government’s broader strategy to address the high unemployment rates, especially amongst youths aged between 18 and 34 years, who constitute 35 per cent of the country's population.
