    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Being a member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I would like to take this opportunity to second this Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2013. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is a very ambitious program. It will help the Government to spruce up its policy on employment. Currently, we are not doing very well as far as employment is concerned. I believe this will give the Government the necessary gadgets to know the unemployment indexes as compared to other countries. Recently, I toured Switzerland in a delegation and a challenge was posed to us by our counter-parts. They were very inquisitive why Kenya, which at one time was at par with them, has more than 70 per cent unemployment ratio while they have reduced theirs to 13 per cent. They were sort of reducing this to massive corruption in our country. However, because when I am outside the country I am a Kenyan and neither Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) nor Jubilee, I told them that they only happened to move higher than us because of massive corruption on their side. That is because many African leaders steal money and keep it in their country which they use to do business. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
