The Speaker is certainly not going to pursue those nuts. Where were we? Hon. Cynthia Muge, proceed."

They have also subjected job seekers to debt bondage due to loans being tied directly to recruitment agents’ accounts. 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": "There are also challenges in complying with bilateral agreements in countries where labour laws may not adequately protect migrant workers. This situation necessitates government intervention to streamline the process for long-term success. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour on the following matters: 1. Number of Kenyans recruited to work in the Middle East particularly in Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, including specific sectors to which they were hired to serve, and number of workers exported in each category in the specified countries. I emphasise that there is a lot of importance in data. 2. Measures that have been put in place by the Ministry to protect Kenyan migrant workers from exploitation and ensure compliance with bilateral agreements in countries where labour laws may not adequately protect them. 3. Oversight mechanisms by the Ministry to ensure that private recruitment agencies operate ethically and comply with the law in order to curb abuses such as human trafficking, among other issues that have been on the forefront lately. I thank you."
