    "content": "Our young ones are not just going there for the sake; they are going there because they want to change their future. However, they cannot change their future if the go there to be slaves. They cannot support their parents or siblings who have been left behind if they become slaves. Instead, their families become worse. They do not sleep when they know that one of their siblings may not come back alive but will be brought back to this country as a corpse in a coffin. Worse still, they live with the fear that they might never see them in their generation. It does not help them at all and it is at times better to have them here living in poverty. The six proposal that the Senator has proposed that the Committee push through are very important and key. When we speak about the unity of this House in debating this Motion, it is so important that when such proposals are made, we ask ourselves the question as to where do we start ensuring that they are implemented. We should do that which is right. The agencies, whether licensed or not, cannot be taking our young girls and boys out there and be unable to give us the statistics. I believe there must be a missing link between the Ministry, the agents being licensed and the authority that ensures they do their role. They should take responsibility for our citizens that they send out there."
