    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think I will finish even before that. There are many of my citizens from Nairobi City County who went to India for treatment, but they cannot come back. Normally, the nature of people who go for treatment there is that they do not even have the resources to stay on. There is the hospital bill which they must pay before they can come back. Sometimes you even find the situation has become fatal. We need a concrete solution. I am glad and I want to thank the CS, an extremely gracious lady from Bondo, Hon. Omamo, for doing an amazing job. However, we need to see more for our people. I want to thank Kenya’s Ambassador to the UK, Mr. Manoah Esipisu because he has really helped Kenyans. I know it because I have a relative who was brought back from there. The Embassy there is responsive; they listen to Kenyans and tell them of flights available on certain dates. I would like to urge other Kenyan ambassadors in other countries to realise that a Kenyan mission abroad must be seen as a fortress for Kenyans. Kenyans must be excited to go there and they must receive service. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have asked that the Ministry submit a detailed report by 19th June, 2020. The report should indicate the criteria set to identify Kenyans in the diaspora who are eligible for support and the priority of those Kenyans. It will also indicate measures taken by the Ministry to mobilise resources to facilitate these Kenyans. If you notice, our recommendations are very specific. We do no just want to give a wish list; we are saying this must be done by this date. This House resolves this and that. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
