    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. First, let me kindly request you to consider referring the Petition by Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to both the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. This is because of the last issue raised about foreigners who may be working here with irregular work permits. My concern is with regard to the last part of the Petition by Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. I will appear before this Committee. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue that the Hon. Member has not talked about is the amount of abuse Africans are subjected to at the EABL. Kenya seems to be among the few places on earth where foreigners seem to have more rights than our citizens. This is unacceptable. A number of these foreigners routinely treat our people as secondary o inferior human beings. In my view, this portrays a blatant failure on the part of our law enforcement agencies. A number of Kenyans who work with foreigners in this country are routinely subjected to both physical and verbal abuse. In fact, there have been many reports of this happening at the EABL."
