    "content": "Yes, I addressed the issue of refugees. We removed the refugees from the hands of the NGOs to the Government and the Government now is able to address that matter. That is why there is peace and harmony within our refugee camps in the nation today. This is a very sad situation and I support the Mover because of what it is all about. I would encourage her to visit the Philippines and see because they have 3,000 refugee workers in the Middle East. It is because of the laws that are there to protect and guard the people; to register them and to ensure they are safe. The embassy does its job to make sure that every citizen of that nation is registered. So, I would encourage by saying that we need in this House to come up with a law that is going to regulate all the agencies which are doing the recruitment of Kenyans. There are sad stories where Wazungus and others come to Kenya to marry young girls then they take them to Europe and they dump them in brothels. So, it is not just in the Middle East that this is happening. Let us also not condemn the employers of our people because we can see there are 30,000 in Dubai. It is just a few areas that have a problem because we do not have a law to guide and protect them. This is the message I wanted to pass. I have more than this but we can address the issue with the hon. Member if a law is enacted in this House."
