    "content": "(4) Inviting the media to cover stakeholders’ meetings; (5) Public participation in development, launch and validation of policy documents, strategic plan, et cetera ; and, (6) Use of National Employment Authority branded billboards in our field offices. That is the answer, it is a poor one. The third question was to explain whether the Authority has developed strategies to mainstream issues of gender, youth, the marginalised and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) into employment programmes. The Authority has developed a Sessional Paper on Employment Policy and Strategy which was discussed in the National Assembly. It outlines the various strategies of promoting employment; key among them being addressing gender disparities in access to employment by the youth, the marginalised and PWDs. An action plan has been developed to actualize the strategy on employment. On registration and placement of jobseekers, the Authority gives equal opportunities to all but gives preference to the marginalized and PWDs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Authority keeps and maintains registers at the head office and field offices of all job seekers seeking employment with the following particulars:- (1) Age and particulars of the job seeker; (2) Academic qualifications; (3) Work experience, if any; (4) Contact details; (5) The county from which the job seekers come; (6) The ethnicity and tribe of job seekers, if known; - This was deliberate to ensure that there is balancing in employment; (7) Details of whether the job seeker is living with any form of disability or challenge to make sure PWDs have opportunities; (8) Gender; (9) Area of specialization, interest or qualifications."
