• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank God that we do not have information of young people who have died as a result of working in such places. I will check and communicate if there is anything like that, that has happened. Thank God, we have not had a problem of that nature. May I take the liberty to answer a bit about the recruitment agencies that have been identified. I do not have the list--- view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said, I am not aware of the loss of any young people. Being in a foreign country and working in situations that are worrying can worry the young people. As the Chair has rightly said, that is a new question and I will be very happy to answer that question extensively once it is asked. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said, this is information that I wanted hon. Members to know because I have been given this opportunity to be here. These interns can be Form Four leavers but in some situations, depending on your constituency, they should be interns that are responsible, at least Form Four leavers. They should be forwarded through the Youth Officer in your constituency and it should be immediate. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: No, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I said, this is a relatively new programme. The young people that were recruited from 2008 up to 2010 have gone mostly to those countries that I mentioned. It is not the intention of the Ministry to send the young people to dangerous places. We would like the young people to do other jobs in other countries. For example, some of the young people who attended this Youth Employment Summit in Sweden actually had a meeting with our ambassador there. In the next two days, the CEO of Youth Enterprise Development Fund will be view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: meeting the Swedish Ambassador to Kenya to discuss the possibility of working together to have young people work in that country and many other countries. I will avail the list of destinations where young people can go. I just want to emphasise that we do not want them to go to dangerous places because we value our young people. They are a resource. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: The only way I can answer that is to go through list. I do not have that list but looking at this list here, I see that most of them are male. But we have administrative assistants. I can see there are some ladies here. They are mostly male youth but I want to say that all of them are encouraged. I do not have the data because you realize that, that is not part of the question. But we can disaggregate this if the question is asked. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said earlier in my response to Mr. Wamalwa, we have not had a specific problem. This is a new programme and we are working together with the various Government Ministries to make sure that as this programme expands and we see it as a potential route for many young people who have gone to school--- Many Kenyans are very literate as has been correctly observed and we will work together to ensure that our young people are not affected. I want to say that we--- view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not waiting for a problem. I have said that this is a relatively new programme and we are working together with relevant Government Ministries to make sure that this programme expands and moves smoothly. I do not have detailed contingency programme because it was not part of the question. I am not waiting for problems, neither am I praying for problems. I am praying that this will work properly and that we will take care of our young people. We are working with the Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other Ministries ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I said earlier, there is an intention to do so. In fact, the YEDF intends to focus its activities in urban areas and also to reach other places. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I would like to confirm that we intend to work together with our embassies abroad. As I mentioned, representatives of young people attended the just ended summit in Sweden. We are also working with our embassies abroad when it comes to sports. You will now realise that when there are various sports activities in different countries, our embassies are participating. We have intentions to work together with our embassies to expand this programme. They will be able to assist and even identify details that may not be known to those of us who are here in their context where they ... view
