    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Since 1992, the Government, through my Ministry, and in conjunction with the International Labour Organization (ILO) International Programme on Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), the Federation of Kenyan Employers (FKE), the Central Organizations of Trade Unions (COTU), civil societies as well as other key stakeholders had been implementing action programmes geared towards eliminating child labour in Kenya. According to the most recent survey, the Child Labour Report of 2008, there were 773,696 child labourers in Kenya aged between 5 to 17 years. Out of those, 408,160 were boys and 365,536 were girls. The most affected provinces are the Rift Valley and Eastern provinces with 261,893 and 154,152 cases, respectively. Nairobi and Nyanza provinces had the least number of child labourers with 13,621 and 73,050 cases, respectively. The Government has put in place adequate measures and machineries to respond to the challenges facing labour in the country."
