    "content": "I support the suspension of the same until this country comes up with important policies that are protective to human rights in these countries. The greatest challenges that these people go through are as a result of very scrupulous agencies which cheat them on better terms of employment and good jobs. However, after reaching there, something different happens Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is until these agencies are properly regulated through the law and policy, Kenyans will continue suffering. I support that this exercise is suspended by the Government. After all, we have been bringing Statements here and nothing is happening. The agencies are still taking these immigrant Kenyans to those countries and they continue being tortured. It is until migrant policies are revised to enable human conditions to prevail for these Kenyans to work in those countries. We must continue supporting this suspension. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have heard from other Senators like Sen. Olekina and Sen. Cheruiyot on other countries. It is important that Sen. Sakaja has also said within the report that there are other countries they have used to benchmark what they are doing. This is so that we may know what happens in those countries that they are getting something to their countries and their workers are working within required human standards. We must make sure we develop win-win policies so that those countries benefit from the labour and our country benefit from getting something from our workers abroad, I support this report more so the suspension of this exercise until effective policies are put in place that support human rights and labour entirely. That is to regulate this exercise so that our people may live and work within the required human conditions. Thank you."
