    "content": "However, I did not mean to make a comment that seems to look down upon women. My sincere apology to Sen. Orwoba and other women who do not “eat fare”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not saying the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare should get a free trip. I challenging them to seize this moment and visit Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you were sitting in the National Assembly, you allocated US$3 million for building safe houses in the last financial year. You have seen Hellen Kemunto here, who was the other day allowed to travel back into the country from Saudi Arabia. If such Kenyans suffer, there should have a place where they are safe houses where they can stay as they wait to be brought back to the country. Secondly, what are the labour attaches and the labour welfare officers to these Gulf States doing? We should create an emergency dial number that is free of charge to these safe houses. I saw the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Dr. Alfred Mutua, meeting some of the officials in Gulf State. There is a way that the Director of Public Prosecution and other criminal justice actors should make a follow up to prosecute people who either participate by commission or omission in their work. This should be done until the Kenyans who are dying in the Gulf States due to domestic work whereby they are being abused and killed is stopped. We should establish a directorate of collaboration between the DPP of the Republic of Kenya and the criminal justice system actors."
