    "content": "human rights are violated, as a country, we have a mechanism through which we can ensure they can report to us. The last time I checked the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data on remittances, it was almost Kshs200 billion per annum. That is a lot of money that we must at least give back by creating a desk for our people in diaspora. Madam Temporary Speaker, I encourage the people in the diaspora, who may be watching us today that we are with you. That is why we have brought this Bill before this honourable Senate. We want to ensure that your rights are protected and the people you left back here in Kenya still care for you. The leaders that you left back here in Nairobi still care for you. That is why we have crafted this Bill, to ensure your rights are protected. It does not make sense for you to be travelling almost half a continent to seek a simple service of renewal of a passport. You spend millions of shillings trying to get a simple Government service in a City called Washington DC, whereas you are based at the North Western regions of America. You are in Canada, which is also in another continent, and have to move travel thousands of kilometres to look for consular service. It does not make sense. Let us empower our diaspora community and create this enabling law to support our diaspora community. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply."
