    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Mbura for bringing to the fore this very important issue. The first and foremost responsibility of any Government is to the security of its citizens within and even outside the borders. This issue has been going on for many years. I have listened to so many questions in Parliament regarding this issue, but the Government seems to have given a deaf ear to this. I want to urge the Committee that will deal with this matter, to expedite it. What the Petition is asking is very simple; that the Government enters into a special contract with the Government of Saudi Arabia to ensure that our children who go to work there, are given good working conditions and environment. So, we want the Government also to rein in unscrupulous employment agents who sell our girls for as little as US$600, which is Kshs54,000. It is such a shame. Action must be taken now. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
