"content": "On the issue of Munyakho and the plight of other Kenyans in Saudi Arabia, we are happy that there is light at the end of the tunnel for Stephen Munyakho. The legal processes in Saudi Arabia are still ongoing, so that the justice system there can do all the procedural steps before he is finally given an opportunity to come to Kenya. I just want to say that the Muslim World League (MWL) is the one that made the contribution. Our Embassy is closely in touch to try and assist, so that this process is concluded. Indeed, there are many other Kenyans facing challenges, not just in Saudi Arabia, but also in other parts of the world as well. We are also in negotiations on the issue of children born in Saudi Arabia out of wedlock and it has become a challenge. As you said, it is taken seriously there. The Kenyan Embassy and also the Government are trying to engage to see if a formula can be found to allow those who are confirmed to be of Kenyan descent to be given the necessary accreditation for them to enjoy their citizenship as we go forward. However, it is a challenge that we face."
