    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all I want to say here that I am a very proud Kenyan. I am happy that I am a Kenyan. I got very sad when I heard that one of my own died in 2012, as hon. Macharia has just said. It is not the only case because I know of cases where our girls have been taken out there. They are cheated by the deceitful and dishonest agents. I have been to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. I can tell you that our children are suffering. Our people are dying. We should not be talking for the sake of it. Something should be done urgently. We want the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services to stop or withdraw the licences for the next two years so that the Saudi Arabian Embassy takes stock of who is actually in Saudi Arabia. That is the only way we can move. Recently, hon. Members of the National Assembly, you heard about one Israeli soldier who was captured by Syrians and Israel almost went to war. Here we are talking about our children; our Kenyans dying in Saudi Arabia. I am addressing Hon. (Ms.) Kanyua so that we can have the way forward. For the Mover of the Motion and I want us to work together on this one, we want the Government of Kenya, particularly the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services to stop these deceitful agents for the next one or two years. Secondly, the embassy that is in Saudi Arabia should take stock of all the Kenyans who are there. It is possible. I know the tycoons in Saudi Arabia are very difficult to handle. They bribe their way through but as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
