    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I applaud the Kenyan delegation that went for the IPU hearings to discuss the issue on the impact of safe, orderly and regular migration. These migration laws have come at the right time when we are having a crisis of refugees from Syria heading towards Europe. Coming closer home in Kenya, we also have the same issue because we are the hub of economic progress in this region. Every time our neighbours are in some unstable state, we receive these immigrants. So, it is crucial to have a law that will guide on how to deal with these immigrants globally. I have seen immigrants who are looking for work permits queue for so many days at Nyayo House. Under what law are we dealing with them especially when they come to look for jobs that Kenyans can do? These laws are also important to protect immigrants socially and economically. It will cure the issue of professionals, for example, engineers who go to western countries and engage in “funny” jobs like becoming petrol station The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
