    "content": "pasture are treated with dignity. No one forces a Kenyan to leave this country. They do so on their own volition. Some leave this country because of the hardships they go through. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we understand the reason they leave this country to seek greener pastures in foreign county, maybe we can find a better way of resolving this problem. I have a problem with a recommendation that attempts to suggest that as a country, we should suspend any migrants from leaving this country to another country to seek for greener pastures. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason people end up in prisons even in the USA is because they engage themselves in criminal activities. Although I sympathise and empathise with Kenyans who have ended up in prison in Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but if you are a law abiding citizen who follows the right immigration laws and you decide to migrate to another country, there is no way you will end up in jail. There is no way you will end up suffering because you followed the right procedure when you leaving this country. I was listening keenly to Sen. Cheruiyot. His submissions in this House today is a clear attestation or demonstration that there are countries in this world that come up with better systems of promoting their citizens who decide to migrate to other countries. The statistics that Sen. Cheruiyot gave are quite clear. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Philippines on a yearly basis exports a million Filipinos to go work abroad for skilled and unskilled labour. I expected my dear good friend, Sen. Sakaja, to sit with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and examine how the Philippines came up with the policy that governs their citizens leaving their country to work abroad. I encourage him to look at the framework, which was developed by the Philippines working with the ILO that manages their citizens who leave the country. I have just indicated to you that every year, there are a million Filipinos who leave the Philippines to other countries. Even in this country, we have many Filipinos working here."
