    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and Hon. Sen. Mumma. The system is not perfect, but it is working. I can proudly say that within the last three months we have not had any reported cases of people getting their passports confiscated or dying out of what you may call abuse or distress in these foreign countries. Kenyans are now empowered. They now reach their embassies and our attaches are able to deal with those issues before they escalate. We also have issues where people go to countries for a particular job and then they quit and become runaways. They are out of status. In the United States of America (USA) they are called illegal immigrants. This is because they went to work somewhere, but they quit and are now out in the streets. We have had cases where those people get into trouble. We are trying as much as possible to get them back into the system, but they need to come back home. We have a number of Kenyans who talk about distress, but they do not want to come back home. They still want to do their chini chini manenos over there, yet they are out of status and are illegal in some of these countries. I would also like to report here that we have quite a number of Kenyans in some foreign countries who have given birth to children. The children are still with them, but we are trying to get them back here. For the children to come back, the mother needs to come back too because we require a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test to match theirs. We have realised that some children are given to somebody na mtu anaambiwa ampelekekwa mama yake . The child is not yours and you also do not want to be accused of child trafficking.
