    "content": "find that a family is just told that their son or daughter fell off the balcony and died, and that is it. The body is brought back and the family buries their child, and the story dies. The question should be: What is the DCI, Ministry Foreign of Affairs and other investigative agencies doing? They should collaborate with the Middle East countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government and seek the truth. I do not mean only the Middle East because Kenyans also die in the United States of America (USA). What is the DCI and other relevant stakeholders doing to ensure that investigations of the deaths of Kenyans in countries that have a weak criminal justice system, so that we do suspect foul play? For most deaths that we hear of, normally, the explanation is usually that somebody died under unexplained circumstances. Thorough investigations should be conducted on the deaths of Kenyans abroad. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other important thing is unclaimed assets. The Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority (UFAA) must tell us who takes the property and payments of the young men and women who die abroad. Do you even know this „animal‟ called UFAA? It is in existence in law and has a chairperson. Sen. Omogeni here knows that if a Kenyan worker died in the Middle East, they had a salary and property. Who takes care of that property until the rightful owner shows up? Sometimes Kenyans and our African nature do not like writing the next of kin because we do not want to premeditate bad things will happen. Who takes their property? Who takes their money in the bank? What is the UFAA? As a country, it is very important that we have this Authority. What is the role of that Authority and who audits this Authority? Have they expanded their issue to include the diaspora? The UFAA must be at the forefront to ensure that when our brothers and sisters unfortunately pass on in unclear circumstances and if they had property and money, it should go to the rightful owner like the next of kin; their wives, husbands, daughters, brothers or their children, so that we can follow the law."
