    "content": "Hon. Raso, you raised a very fundamental issue about the frequency of concerns coming from some of these regions. Indeed, this is a matter we now take very seriously because it is a pattern. We are engaging diplomatically to refine our relations so we can eliminate these challenges. Some people go innocently to work but end up in awkward predicaments. We are working closely with law enforcement agencies like the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). We also want to work with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and others. This is because some of the entities luring Kenyans are not following proper procedures. They are partly responsible for the current situation where Kenyans travel without proper processing. The ministry has what we call pre-departure protocols to advise Kenyans on what to expect, as Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi has said. However, some people bypass this process. Legally, there is no restriction preventing a Kenyan from leaving the country. If someone decides to go without informing anyone, we cannot do anything about it."
