• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: 2024 in Saudi Arabia. The mission established that at the time of the death, the deceased was employed on a valid contract. The mission, also through the recruitment agencies, established the contacts of the deceased's family and obtained a post-mortem report to establish the cause of death and preparation of the body for repatriation home. The repatriation of the body took long since the post-mortem report indicated that the cause of death was suicide and investigations were ongoing which affirmed the same. For this reason, the employer who otherwise is supposed to assist with the cost of repatriation declined to ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to state that we can avail that information based on the records that we have within the embassies because we are talking of - to be precise - 416,058 individuals. We can work on having this brought to the Senate. I can only appeal on one issue that as we give the identities, you will need to guide us on whether we will be breaching some aspects of the data identity issues by tabling all the 416,058. That is the only question, but we are prepared to give this list. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the workers are varied. They range from highly skilled professionals to those who are engaged in the service sector, and some are labourers. So, it is very broad. However, as we said, subject to the guidance that Madam Temporary Speaker has given, we will provide a background on this. The second aspect is that we have our missions trained to give all the assistance that we can give. I can assure Kenyans that if, indeed, there are any incidents of what The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: might be seen as a lack of courtesy, they are very limited. Most of the mission staff in our embassies have been very courteous to the Kenyan citizens abroad. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: I wish to state that there were some challenges in the past, and we are trying to resolve them because we did not have proper and accurate data. However, I can assure the House and the nation that through the Department of Diaspora, and working with the Immigration Department, we are now establishing more accurate data on the Kenyans who are travelling to various countries, including the Gulf States. On the websites of the State Department for Diaspora, we have indicated the licensed recruitment agencies, because in the past we have had cases where the Senator is right that unscrupulous ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: A classic example now is Germany, where we are just about to agree on a labour framework or employment framework, and we are refining even those that relate to the Gulf and other states. Equally, I mention to the House here, that the points they are raising are valid and important because one of the things we intend to do is to be able to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: have a Sessional Paper that will be brought to Parliament. Some of these issues we would like to draw from the knowledge and experience of Parliament, so that we can improve how we engage with foreign countries on some of these issues. However, we are taking steps to change the situation. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is work in progress, because the Labor Migration Bill is supposed to be debated and cleared by Parliament. So that is work in progress, and then we shall be able to establish how the Fund shall operate. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I said, it is not as easy as it may appear sometimes. Our missions are making every effort particularly in the Gulf because sometimes our Kenyans do not even communicate once they have landed and gone to where they are going. We sometimes get to know only when they are in a state of distress. Therefore, these are some of the things we are hoping to overcome as we establish better data and communication networks. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will not tire. We want to do the best we can to ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, first of all the agencies that are registered are available on the National Employment Authority (NEA) website. This information is also shared with the National Government Administration Officers (NGAO). This is how we cascade it through the county commissioners all the way down, so that this information is available at the district and county offices as well. One that thing that remains is that through this NEA, there are regulations, and we are trying to weed out all the entities that do not fit the bill and that are not fit for purpose. This is an ongoing ... view
