    "content": "What we need to do is to give them the attention they deserve. As I speak, the leading foreign exchange earner is money send by Kenyans living in the diaspora followed by tea. It has overtaken the traditional foreign exchange earner. Just in two years, Kenyans who live abroad sent Kshs649 billion. That was between 2019 and 2020. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenyans in the diaspora sent Kshs6.3 billion weekly. Some of the money goes to school fees while some is sent to support their families and investments. That plays a significant role in the growth of the economy that we are talking about."
