    "content": "The Human Rights Watch has compiled cases of people where they have contracted COVID-19 within the detention centres with no services provided and with the country not even aware. You will never hear a citizen of the United States of America or Canada or any of these countries being put in those detention centres. The reason being that the consular sections of these organizations and these countries are on top of the welfare of their citizens. It is about time we also did that. There is no reason as to why we pump so much money into our foreign offices. I do not understand why there is one labour officer when the largest number of migrants in Kenya go to Saudi Arabia. Where is the priority here? Sen. Sakaja please let us have all these Ministries come to this House to be given this work; these accountabilities to be assigned to them with clear timelines as to when and how these things are going to be done. It is okay within the six months, yes, but it is not enough to say that in the last few years there are some reforms that have been done with our labour laws or in our Labour Ministry. As we speak, the situation is still the same and actually getting worse by the day. I support and look forward to the implementation of some of the recommendations that you have made. Please also check for us that we have ratified and are also part of the International Labour Organization and International Conventions that will give us at least a backup should we then fail as a nation to do these things. I congratulate you."
