    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to thank the Prime Cabinet Secretary, who is also from my county, and a friend, for appearing before the Senate. I represent a county that has a major problem with what we are discussing now. Every year we have more than 12 cases, which are reported to me. On various occasions, I have brought questions and even engaged the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs on the same. So what I would request the Prime Cabinet Secretary is if it is possible to give a breakdown of these figures per county, so that we can understand the extent of the problem. Number two; in the process of dealing with this problem that is common in my county, there are occasions where we are told that some of these people travel to those countries through unregistered cartels of some recruitment agencies, which are not licensed by the Government. Therefore, there is every possibility that those who die and were taken there by these recruitment agencies, possibly the Government does not have their data. What is the Ministry doing about this? The issue of unregistered and scrupulous recruitment agencies who take advantage of the plight of these girls and boys to recruit them through illegal means, and then these people end up dying or harmed in those countries, what is the Government doing about this? Thank you."
