    "content": "During the last Parliament, I served in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and whenever we visited foreign countries, we could hear stories of Kenyan migrant workers’ relations with their bosses in those foreign lands. They were not good stories. I am happy that Kenyans are going abroad. I can read from the Report that 55,000 migrant workers of Kenyan origin are in Saudi Arabia. What about Qatar and Dubai? These are areas where the Committee has to visit and bring us a full report. The Middle East comprises all these countries. The Middle East does not comprise of only Saudi Arabia. It has many more countries. We need to get a full report to comprehend what the Committee is talking about. The high rate of unemployment in our own country is what is pushing our youths to such places. If, as a country, we could create employment opportunities, our youths would not migrate to those countries to look for jobs. We have failed. We need to protect our people by creating jobs and employing them, so that we do not get such reports."
