"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to also make my comments on two issues. The first one is on job opportunities in the diaspora as reported in the House by Sen. Orwoba. I wish to state here that as a committee, we met numerous times with the then Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection and we have also met with the current one. The issue is the beginning or the process undertaken by a candidate which is done by agents. The mistakes are mainly made by agents simply because there is no enough scrutiny of those agents as they interview candidates before they proceed to go to other countries. A few Members made a trip to Saudi Arabia. We found out that there were loopholes there because our own embassy did not take emphasis on the location of workers in that country and they were also not in regular contact with them so that they know what is happening there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Member suggested, we will have time with the Cabinet Secretary himself so that those processes are put into a situation that can save our people. I thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I want to make a short comment on the Statement sought by the Senator for Kisumu County. I am a resident of Kisumu City and I know the problem is extremely serious, not just in the city but also across the board. That county is littered with factories. There is a cement factory and three sugar factories which are big polluters. People do not have access to clean water either because they are not connected or cannot afford the one supplied by the municipality. They use water from the rivers which is not clean at all since they are completely contaminated. I hope the Committee that is going to investigate this is going to get into details so that we can find a solution to this perennial water problem not just in Kisumu but across the country. Since it has been raised by Kisumu, let it be an example."

"content": "Asante sana, Mstahiki Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi kuchangia na kutoa tafsida yangu kwa Taarifa iliyoletwa na Sen. Orwoba. Wakati huu nchi inapambana kuhakikisha kwamba vijana na wananchi kwa jumla wanapata kazi hapa na nchi za nje. Ni jambo la aibu kuona watu wakiritimba wamejipanga kuhadaa Wakenya. Hakuna jambo mbaya kama mawakala tisa wameungana na benki tatu kuhakikisha kwamba wamewalaghai wanaotafuta kazi. Waziri wa Leba na Maslahi ya Jamii anafaa kujua mambo haya yote kabla hayajafika hapa. Kama amemakinika anafaa kujua kuna jambo linaendelea kule nje na Wakenya wanapoteza fedha zao. Bwana Spika, mambo ni wawili- iwe anafahamu kinachoendelea au la. Kama hajui, tuko hapa kumkumbusha ya kwamba yanayotendeka ni aibu. Wakati Waziri atakapokuja hapa, atakuja kulia na sisi. Machozi ya mtengeneza jeneza hayafai kuchukuliwa kwa uzito katika mazishi.

Imefika wakati ambao sisi kama Seneti tunafaa kusimama tusichukuliwe kama wanasesere kwa sababu tunajua tunayofanya."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is disappointing. I think Kenya has become a hub of fake recruitment agencies from the First Choice to Trustpine Travel Agency where Rish Kamunge was conning people allegedly through TikTok. I even saw my youth from Emgwen stranded. The sad reality is that there is complicity from the National Employment Authority. How does one pay Ksh15,000 for medical examination? What are they examining? I am told they are even doing pregnancy test to men. How can they subject a Kenyan to a Kshs15,000 medical examination? It is embarrassing. How do they charge such money to young people who borrow Kshs1,000 for transport? We are aware there are banks that are allegedly being used including Diamond Trust Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank and Spur Capital allegedly to siphon a kickback. If one is to be paid Kshs55,000, they must pay a Kshs5,000 kickback to these agencies. We will not allow anyone to sabotage the President’s programme because the person giving a bad name to the labour mobility is none other than the Cabinet for Labour and Social Protection, hon. (Dr.) Mutua. He acted in many movies. This is not Cobra Squad movie but about the lives of many young Kenyans. Blue Wave International Recruitment Agency, Epic Manpower, Global Finance Human Resource, Icebeck, Monisa Agency, Shakale Agency, among others, were chaired by one person called Moses Mbiti. What interest does the Cabinet Secretary have with these agencies? Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will call him out. We shall not allow the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Mutua, to sabotage the President’s agenda. Now that we are a Broad-Based Government, we will deal with him mundu khu mundu . I support."

"content": "Thank Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in great concern with regards to the same Statement regarding the fate of shortlisted candidates for diaspora employment under the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. For far too long, young job seeking Kenyans have been left vulnerable to exploitation with no accountability at all. It is deeply disheartening that many young Kenyans already struggling with economic hardships have been subjected to financial exploitation under the guise of recruitment fee only to be left in limbo for months with no refunds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, young people go through far too much in Kenya. If it is not failures in bursary and school capitation, it is unemployment. If not unemployment, it is abductions, it is femicide. If not femicide, it is overseas exploitation like this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
