    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last two months, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has actually issued Press releases explaining to Kenyans that it is no longer a matter which can be taken lightly. If any Kenyan is travelling outside the country for an employment opportunity that has come up, they should immediately go and register with the embassy of the country where they are going. We have also been warning Kenyans that they have to be careful with the unscrupulous individuals who are recruiting and fleecing them of their resources as they try to look for opportunities outside the country. One of the issues that have come up in the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is that we are having inter-ministerial meetings to make sure that the Kenyan Government can actually come up with bilateral agreements with different countries, so that Kenyans in the Diaspora can have their labour rights protected. In this way, when a Kenyan is recruited, or goes to another country to look for a job, then they will find that their rights are protected. They will be going to a place where they know who is going to employ them. They will know how much they will be paid and what the laws of the respective country say about their rights. This has been a problem; it has existed but the Government is trying to make sure that we provide the necessary protection as soon as possible."
