    "content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to read my Statement. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44 (2) (c ), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding access to employment by the youth in the country as stipulated in Article of 55 (c ) of the Constitution and other Kenyans. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kenya is experiencing a high unemployment rate which currently stands at over 57 per cent. However, there are thousands of non-Kenyans working in this country, thus denying our qualified youth and other citizens opportunities to secure employment. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the Statement of the Chairperson of the Committee, he should state how many non-Kenyans are formally and informally employed in Kenya; including the segregated data on their names, institutions or organizations, professions, including those working in the United Nations bodies, international organizations and the private sector. The Chairperson should also give any measures or policies in place to ensure that non- Kenyans are not offered employment in areas where there is available local expert. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
