• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to respond as follows. Firstly, I will respond on the measures that the Government is taking to intervene and assist Mr Chris Anyuga Barake. He is a Kenyan citizen and a holder of passport No.B203878.

• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: The State Department for Diaspora Affairs has also developed a legal aid information framework and pre-departure manuals to provide Kenyans going abroad with information on their rights and basic information about their country of destination. The Government has also established a clear reporting channel where Kenyans in the diaspora or their relatives in Kenya can report any kind of distress through the ministry's e- citizen portal. Our hotline numbers and emails are on through the 24-hour call centre at the State Department for Diaspora Affairs. Kenyan missions abroad have consular desks mainly staffed by immigration attachés who handle consular concerns, ... view

We will follow up on that immediately through the diplomatic channels. I do not have the specific details on the issue of Mr Barsitei Rerimoi, but I would be happy to get some additional… view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: We can give a more comprehensive response once we get additional information. On the issue raised by Hon. Passaris, which in a way also ties in with the question by the Member for Githunguri. First, I acknowledge with appreciation the compliments for the efforts that the ministry has taken to help those in Myanmar and other areas to be brought back home. As I conclude, Hon. Speaker, with your indulgence, I can help in conveying this message and seeking the help of parliamentarians to campaign with us to educate our young people as they go out there. Mr James Kariuki ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: We must also alert our people that we cannot have a society where Parliament is indirectly pressured through the Ministry, to provide money to bail out people involved in unlawful activities. Hon. Speaker, through you, I just want to appeal that we become cognisant of this and communicate to Kenyans so that we do not face further embarrassment as we move forward. Thank you. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to say that the demarcation process is ongoing. We have a department, the Kenya International Boundaries Office (KIBO). Two weeks ago, they briefed me on the progress they are making. Normally, this is a collaborative effort between countries, and both must work in harmony and in tandem. It is an ongoing process. We have covered substantial parts of our boundaries but others remain. The area that the Member mentioned is one of those we are consulting so, that we work together with the Government of Uganda and the Government of Tanzania, when looking at ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to respond as follows. First, the Government is apprised of the matter of children born to Kenyan mothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The number of children born to Kenyan mothers is in our records. As of now, they are 388. The processing of exit visas is done by the Government of Saudi Arabia upon application by the individual. The Mission assists Kenyans with children to apply for the exit visa, negotiate for waiver of the accumulated dependency fees, and follow up until they exit. On the clarity as to whether there are ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to revisit the issue of DNA. The DNA process is very personal. The details you get out of it must be protected to ensure they do not fall into the wrong hands. When we take the samples, we give the results to individuals in confidence. Sometimes DNA results could prove something else. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: 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. view
