    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this very important Bill. In doing this, I want to start from where the Leader of the Majority Party has stopped. I would like to indicate that this is one of the Bills that require the support of the entire House considering that tens of thousands of Kenyans are languishing in jail in foreign countries having been sentenced by foreign jurisdictions and having exhausted their appeals. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), for instance, we have approximately 40,000 Kenyans living in that region of the world, but 17 of those Kenyans are in jail. Many others are held incommunicado awaiting their hearings to be conducted. Even so, there are no bilateral agreements between this country and the UAE. There is no law in Kenya which can assist these Kenyans who are languishing in jail to come back here to serve 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."
