    "content": "tend to also read and come across these distress calls. However, we are not sure how the Government reacts in different countries. Therefore, by having these amendments and we are cognizant of this issue that is really problematic. Slavery now seems to be worse than it was in the past, especially the problems faced by victims of trafficking. Therefore, by developing and implementing these different programmes that the Bill proposes, this can go a long way in helping Kenyan migrant workers in different countries. It will assist in coming to their aid when there is a distress call. Most or some of us have participated in some fundraisings regarding this issue. I just had one recently in Naivasha where there was a girl who was in one of those countries in the Middle East. She had managed to escape, but she did not have a penny to come back home. For some reasons, the Embassy was just not being receptive. It is important to take bold steps in being able to help in these sorts of cases. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is quite a substantial Bill here touching on a lot of laws, but like we said and heard from the Mover of the Bill, the Majority Leader, the Committee seems to have done a great job. I am sure as we progress in the second reading, issues will come up and be handled properly despite the Bill containing so many laws. I, therefore, beg to second."
