• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: When I spoke about presenting documents, I meant to the Kenyan embassy. If a Kenyan goes to the embassy and says they have lost their papers, there will be no other conditions. 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. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Regarding the case from Shamakhokho, we will follow up and communicate to the House about that specific individual. I will also follow up on another case for Elizabeth Chausi. We were able to send funds to her for repatriation. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: 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 ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: 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. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to respond as follows. You may note that some of the issues raised have already been canvassed in the previous question. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Once again, I wish to state that Article 14(1), as read with Clause 30 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya, stipulates that: “14(1) A person is a citizen by birth if on the day of the person’s birth, whether or not the person is born in Kenya, either the mother or the father is a Kenyan citizen”. This provision outlines the principle of citizenship by parentage thus granting automatic citizenship to children born abroad to Kenyan citizens. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: For them to obtain official documents such as birth certificates, passports and national Identity Cards (IDs), parents are required to register the child's birth with the Government of Kenya. These documents are available in most Kenyan missions abroad where they can easily access them. As we speak, applications are now processed through the e-Citizen platform and thus centralised. Additionally, the State Department of Diaspora Affairs carries out regular mobile consular services outreach. It takes services to Kenyan in the diaspora where we have a high population of Kenyans. The programme takes a one-government approach as it on-boards Government agencies to ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: focuses on protecting their rights, engaging them through partnerships, empowering them through job placements and prospering them through investments. We have also developed a diaspora investment strategy. It aims at creating a framework that focuses on attracting diaspora investments, facilitating their engagement in Kenya's economic activities, and ensuring that their contributions are effectively integrated into our development plans. We have also been undertaking various diaspora investment promotions with Kenyans in different countries. We are also contemplating issuing a diaspora bond. The Government is planning to launch a diaspora bond that will enable Kenyans abroad to invest in priority projects back ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had spoken on the issue of awareness. So, I do not need to go back to it. On the issue of people who take advantage of innocent Kenyans, in the previous response, I said that the Ministry is working with the law enforcement agencies, the DCI and the EACC, so that we can zero in on these unscrupulous people who cause pain and anguish to them. This matter is ongoing. We believe once the investigations are done thoroughly, the procedure is for them to face prosecution through the due process. The Director of Public Prosecutions ... view
