"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour regarding the welfare of Kenyans working in the Middle East. In November 2024, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection launched a job recruitment programme to connect skilled and semi-skilled Kenyans with overseas employment opportunities, particularly in Gulf countries that include Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The programme, which targeted placing 21,000 Kenyans in overseas jobs in the first phase, is part of the Kenya Kwanza Government’s broader strategy to address the high unemployment rates, especially amongst youths aged between 18 and 34 years, who constitute 35 per cent of the country's population. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "The Ministry contracted accredited private agencies, one of them being Blue Wave International Services Limited, to facilitate recruitment to the UAE. It also partnered with the Youth Enterprise Fund to provide soft loans ranging from Ksh185,000 to Ksh650,000 to cover for agency fees, air tickets, visas and medical expenses for successful candidates. Whereas the Ministry’s initiative demonstrates a proactive approach to reducing unemployment by tapping into the opportunities in the global labour market, several concerns have been raised about the process. Notably, there are claims of exploitation and unethical practices during recruitment process, where some private agencies charged illegal fees or mismanaged funds meant for job seekers."

He has been eating nuts. The nuts are still here. He ate them and did not even give me a piece. He has left the nuts here, and I do not know whether I am supposed to continue eating them. I just want to know if eating in the House is allowed. I am also asking this for the benefit of first-term Members to learn. Is it allowed to eat in the august House? The nuts are here presented as evidence to you. Exhibit! Thank you."
