    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the contributions made by Members centre around the need to establish a clear legal framework. Over time, the Government, through the Ministry, has spoken about labour migration and the signing of bilateral agreements. However, the fundamental question that the Members of this honourable House must ask themselves is whether there is a legal framework to ensure the protection of Kenyans' rights as stipulated in the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Kenya is a sovereign State. While we address the issue of unemployment amongst the youth, we must also avoid exposing them to exploitation by countries seeking to take advantage of our trained labour. Kenya is known for its well-trained human resources. Recently, a report from Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital highlighted that nurses who had been trained and had acquired experience in healthcare service provision have left the country. The institution is now struggling due to inadequate budget allocations to hire new staff. Even if it were to recruit, where would it find personnel trained to handle specialised referral cases? Facilities such as Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital cater to special cases, requiring specifically trained nurses. It is time that this House rose to the occasion and began offering guidance on this issue. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
