    "content": "I challenge the Somali Government to allow miraa from Kenya to access their market. I challenge President William Ruto who was elected the Chairman of the EAC to look into this issue. We congratulate him for being the new chairman. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope the Njuri Ncheke Chairman here, who is also your Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, will engage the new Chair of the EAC. Finally, the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare looked at recruitment agencies that take our sons and daughters abroad. I ask each and every Kenyan now that we have the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, to use Government agencies to look jobs abroad, including in Saudi Arabia, USA and Germany. We are getting close to Kshs1 trillion from foreign exchange in this country. The issue of using bogus and fake recruitment agencies to go abroad will not solve problems that Sen. Onyonka talked about. The President challenged the National Employment Authority (NEA) to ensure they give us updated recruitment agencies that are lawfully being run in the entire Republic of Kenya. When Kenyans pay money to travel abroad to look for opportunities, they should use credible and legal recruitment agencies in this country. In conclusion, we need to have sanctuaries in our embassies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, Germany, and across the world. Today I was told even Tanzania and Uganda are also considered as being abroad. So, let us establish sanctuaries for our young men and women who run into distress. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity."
