    "content": "Human rights in our Constitution are paramount. Some countries do not have such a Constitution like the one we have. Their human rights are violated in different ways. If we allow our citizens to be jailed in those countries, it is like we are tormenting them. It is like we are torturing them. It is like we do not value them. As a country that respects human rights, we need to make sure that we have a law that governs our citizens wherever they are or whenever they are jailed in foreign countries. The cost to families going to visit the prisoners in foreign lands is very high. For instance, just two months ago, we had a case in India where a Kenyan lady was jailed. Her family discovered that two years after she disappeared. The issue became public knowledge after somebody exposed that there is a Kenyan in India who had been jailed. Her family had to raise money to go and see her in India. If the Government will take the initiative of bringing back such prisoners to the country, it will offer relief to poor citizens who cannot afford to travel to foreign countries to see their relatives who have been jailed there."
