    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very great day for the people of Kenya, more so for those whose loved ones are jailed in foreign lands. As I said during the Second Reading of this Bill, so many Kenyans used to accost me in malls and on the streets and they would tell me: “Hon. Duale, you and your colleagues, please enact into law the Transfer of Prisoners Bill”. This Bill sets the stage for Kenyans who are jailed in foreign lands to be brought back home to spend the remaining part of their jail terms in a prison in their own country, where they can access Kenyan food, their relatives and the spiritual guidance of their country. So, this is a very important Bill. I want to thank my colleagues in the National Assembly. I am sure the moment the President assents to this into law, many of our daughters and sons who are jailed in China, Asia, Europe and Africa will have an opportunity, under this law, to be transferred to our country and serve their jail terms here. It will also give an opportunity to foreigners who are languishing in our jails to also spend the remaining part of their jail term in a prison in their own country."
