    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Statement by the Senator for Nandi. I know that is where there is a lot of maize. Therefore, he is also arguing for his farmers. This country has been experiencing food shortage and drought. Therefore, we need to have a serious food reserve. In other countries like Europe and the United States of America (USA) and all those places, ice covers the whole land with ice, but they have never gone hungry. Unfortunately, three or four months of drought in Kenya, Kenyans go hungry. Every time, you will see in the media that areas like Turkana and most part of Northern Kenya, people dying because of hunger. This is a very important Statement and I wish to support it. Besides that, with regard to the Statement on domestic workers from Kenya who go to other places, especially the Arab world; their cases are mishandled. Our people seeking domestic work in other parts of the world, especially in the Middle East are experiencing a lot of problems. There is a lot of uncoordinated movement of people moving from place to place. Most of the people who normally take the domestic workers to the Middle East are not registered. We have lost many Kenyan domestic workers. Therefore, a very strict measure should be put in place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to take serious action so that we can curtail this business of taking people like slaves into other countries like the Middle East. I thank you."
