"content": "One of the reasons this DNA verification process is so rigid with the Saudi Government is that there is a worry that some people may be involved in child trafficking. They are very rigorous, which suggests they have faced such cases before. Not necessarily, from Kenyans but from other nationalities. People have falsely claimed children who were not theirs. This has caused the challenge we are facing as Kenyan today."

In fact, there is no conditionality. We will begin the processing and verification because mechanisms exist. I want to assure everyone that they must report to the Kenyan embassy, and not another embassy to get assistance."

"content": "Hon. Raso, you raised a very fundamental issue about the frequency of concerns coming from some of these regions. Indeed, this is a matter we now take very seriously because it is a pattern. We are engaging diplomatically to refine our relations so we can eliminate these challenges. Some people go innocently to work but end up in awkward predicaments. We are working closely with law enforcement agencies like the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). We also want to work with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and others. This is because some of the entities luring Kenyans are not following proper procedures. They are partly responsible for the current situation where Kenyans travel without proper processing. The ministry has what we call pre-departure protocols to advise Kenyans on what to expect, as Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi has said. However, some people bypass this process. Legally, there is no restriction preventing a Kenyan from leaving the country. If someone decides to go without informing anyone, we cannot do anything about it."

"content": "So, the issue becomes one of awareness. We must sensitise them to reduce these challenges. I want to re-emphasise that it is absolutely crucial to keep Kenyans safe. Human trafficking, drugs, slave labour and cyber fraud are real threats to our youth. We must communicate this clearly. An ambassador in Kenya once said: “Actions have consequences.” We must remind our young people of this. We do not want to lose them."
