    "content": "should now be considered with the Kenyans who are working abroad to see whether we are getting complementarity in terms of application of the immigration laws and policies. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this. I also support that every foreigner who is working in Kenya must definitely do so when they are licensed within the special sectors they should be working in. The taxation should net the benefit they are receiving from the Kenyan economy and go back to support the infrastructure within which they are trading. What is the taxation regime that is being applied to the foreign nationals when they are earning in Kenya? Are they keeping to the labour laws or are they using the visitor's visa to work gainfully earn money from Kenya and go back to the other countries without maybe even paying the taxes that are required to be paid within Kenya? So, I support this and I hope that once this talk and audit are taken by the Cabinet Secretary and a report is presented to this House by the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence, and Foreign Relations, I would also hope that the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialization, and Tourism is involved in this matter. Once this report is brought to Parliament or the Senate, then we will be able to tell whether we have extinguished opportunities that should be due to the young people in Kenya or whether the foreign nationals are working within the framework that is provided within the Republic of Kenya. I thank you."
