    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to affirm the case that Hon. Passaris has talked about because Mr James Kariuki is my voter in Githunguri Constituency. I am happy that the Prime Cabinet Secretary is here because this case is attracting a lot of foreign attention. Mr James was arraigned in court and jailed for two years for having been involved in electronic fraud. While serving his jail term in Sharjah, UAE, another crime was committed using his documents. He was arraigned in court again, and detained for the second crime, having not completed the first jail sentence. He is supposed to be out on a bond of Ksh2 million. He has no immigration papers or visa and cannot afford that bond amount. I would like the attention of the Prime Cabinet Secretary. I understand that many of our young people in the UAE went there because of the promise of electronic jobs. However, they ended up being used for international electronic fraud through coercion by some foreigners. Mr James is only one victim who has been arraigned in court, but there are many others languishing in cells. Is the Prime Cabinet Secretary aware of the many young Kenyans in UAE cells? How can we help James and many others who have not been brought to our attention? I happen to have James’ contacts as well as those of his family. I would be happy to assist you with them so that you can sort out this issue."
