"content": "I watched with consternation about two days ago when Greece Prime Minister was speaking to his Parliament amidst huge cheering. He said that Greece will no longer provide an easy access to Europe from North Africa. He said again amidst huge cheering that they will be detaining every person who crosses from Morocco, Southern Sudan and Libya; all those people who make their way to Europe through Greece. They will create special detention camps That communicates that time has come for Africa to seriously consider developing migrations laws for labour that make it easier to come and work in other parts of Africa as opposed to going to Europe. The days when Europe was the glamorous place that people used to hope to visit, are over. They are also experiencing lots of problems. Trump has imposed very serious taxes on the importation of their goods. They are having their own economic problems and they are trying to find a way of answering them by making it look like it is the migrant labour force that is bringing the problems to Europe. Madam Temporary Speaker, the consultations sponsored through the PAP must be taken very seriously. It is time Africa rises up to make it easy for all of us who want to work in various parts of Africa to do so without a problem. If an Angolan came to Kenya, what is the legal regime? How much tax does he pay to Kenya and how much tax does he remit back home? What about the social policies? Will he be eligible to access the Social Health Authority (SHA) in Kenya, for example? Will he be protected by the labour laws in this country? As a country and Africa, we need to support this labour migration law that is being developed through the PAP. It has already gone through the consultation. I am aware that in the meeting held in Nairobi, a resolution was made to bring it to the plenary of the Parliament of Africa, which will be done in this session beginning this July. Once the plenary is done, as the process demands, it will go to the African Union (AU) Executive. After that, we will have to domesticate it in various national parliaments. We need to make a score on this one. We need to create an Africa where people can work and live anywhere. During the Africa Day, the Members of the delegation of PAP brought students from all over Kenya in leadership into the Parliament Precincts. We had a meeting celebrating the African Day. I saw students from Rwanda, South Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) who are studying in Kenya. These students will meet their spouses here. Why should we make it so difficult for them to be---?"

We truly understand that it is indeed a constitutional right for people to picket and seek their rights. However, when discussing vandalism and destruction of property, it should be clear that the law provides for the Government to protect its citizens and 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."

I am happy to note that there was a debate on whether the youths were responsible for the destruction of property or the goons. I have heard my friend, the Senator for Laikipia County, saying that the order to shoot was unfortunate. That order is the reason why the owner of the goons has announced that the demonstrations and the destruction of property must stop. Even as we seek to quantify the losses we have, I do not agree with the position that the Government should compensate businesses that have been lost. However, the owners, organisers and the mobilisers of the goons that destroyed property should be held to account. Madam Temporary Speaker, in future, this House needs to amend the law---"
