    "content": "I am glad that this policy finally wants to tackle the issue of employment of foreigners. It is true we cannot live as an island. We have to work and employ citizens from other countries. One of the biggest problems I have noticed in this country, particularly in professional cadres, is that you get people who are not qualified coming here and taking jobs which can be done by Kenyans. It should be clear that, as much as we open our arms to people from outside because we also need Kenyans to be employed in other countries, please, let it be for only those services that cannot be found locally. It has been very disappointing for those of us who are in professional fields to get outsiders coming here particularly, from the so-called developed world as technicians. They start working as engineers and architects and thus, taking up big jobs. Some of those big jobs here in town are held by people who masquerade as architects, engineers and quantity surveyors. Initially, those people found their way into this country as technicians. This is wrong and this policy must address that so that we account for all the foreigners who are working in our country, and particularly those who offer professional services."
