Question

The Member for Kipkelion East (Hon. Cherorot Kimutai, MP) to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection: - Could the Cabinet Secretary – (i) explain why Kenya’s employment design, including within the Government, has a predefined requirement for relevant experience in related fields for fresh graduates, thereby causing many potential employees to be left out due to lack of experience? (ii) provide details of comparison of the outcomes of careers to which employees are recruited without experience for on-job training from the very onset, such as the uninformed officers vis-à-vis the careers which recruit from highly trained personnel but require experience of specified periods before employment? (iii) explain the evaluation tool used to assess the capacity to deliver for the fresh job seekers who have found it hard to manoeuvre in the job market thus lacking an even fair ground to benefit and grow their careers? (iv) consider developing a workable policy framework aimed at protecting young professionals and fresh graduates from being subjected to extreme job qualification requirements in order to boost an all- round career growth as well as minimizing unemployment of educated youth in the country?
