    "content": "If you look at one of the major employers or institutions, it is teaching. Whereas you find that teachers are well remunerated and are among the best paid civil servants in those countries, we may not say as much in our country. The other area that this Paper alludes to is the area of decent employment opportunity. This is very important because I think 70 per cent of the Kenyan work-force does not work in high paying jobs. Sometimes, they do the back-breaking jobs. That is why it is important for this House to examine such a document with a tooth-comb so that we can be able to look after our labour force. The other challenge we experience in our country is the employability in terms of the relevance of the Kenyan education system to the job market. The other challenge is in the area of labour migration. We are all aware of Kenyans who go to work in places like the Middle East where there are many complaints. With this Sessional Paper, the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services will take cognizance so that Kenyans working out there are not wasted. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support."
