    "content": "750,000 youths who are still unemployed, we are very much aware that through some of these programmes like the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) more than 150,000 have benefited. Through the programme of subsidized tuition in youth polytechnics, around 75,000 youths are already in the programme. On youth employment outside the country, this is a programme that has been very slow. So far, the only record I have is 3,000 youth while the target was 10,000 youth annually. We all know the economic downturn that was there the previous year which affected the programme and also the legal structures that are still being worked out. A Sessional Paper is being developed and once adopted by the Cabinet, it will be brought to this Parliament so that there is a clear programme on how Kenyans can be employed outside this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are very much aware of what has been happening to some of our young men and women who have gone to seek jobs abroad only to end up being given jobs they did not anticipate or being subjected to working conditions that look like slavery. This would require Parliament to pass the legal framework through which these schemes can be implemented. That is still being worked on."
