    "content": "However, I do not want to condemn the whole country because of that. This lady was conned by an agency which is not recognised. As the Chair was making his presentation here, he said very clearly that the agencies used to be 1,600 and because of registration, these people have been reduced to slightly over 200, which I think is a good move on the side of the Ministry and the Government. So, as a House, we need to go ahead and demand from the Government that those who have been given the job be gazetted, so that Kenyans can be aware of the companies and those who are running them. We should make this public, so that everybody can be aware of who to approach. On some other issues which have been raised in this House, you do not expect the Committee to be a police station to follow police cases. There are cases we need to leave to the police to investigate and we look for the best options for our people and create an opportunity for them. However, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and a career trade unionist in this county, I state here categorically that we need to negotiate for more slots for our people to go to the Middle East and get jobs. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
