    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was actually at the point of concluding. I said many good things have been said and I want to support this Bill. I want to add that we must protect our own people. Kenya has got a very good human resource base comprising of well-educated people. In fact, there is a brain drain. Many of our people are leaving the country in search of employment elsewhere because they cannot find employment in Kenya. So, it is wrong for us to issue work permits to foreigners when there are better qualified Kenyans. I represent Kisumu. You find that particular members of a certain racial group would rather import unqualified labour - people who are not even able to speak Kiswahili or English - to work in Kenya at the expense of other residents of my constituency, who are qualified. The foreigners get paid better salaries. When you complain and send labour officers to investigate, nothing happens. So, I recommend that we go through this Bill properly, support it and make any necessary amendments to it at the Committee Stage. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
