I think this law should be passed by Machakos and all the county governments.

This will greatly reduce cases of theft, child abuse and adultery. Our media is congested with cases of child abuse involving househelps.

Our media is awash with cases of broken homes caused by house helps. Our social media are flooded with cases of child-theft.

This arises when the owners of a house employ a house help that they do not even know his or her details.

Such information like the character traits of a person, where he or she comes from, her past employment history etc are very vital to avoid these cases of theft, adultery and child abuse.

If you want to employ a house help, make sure you interrogate him or her thoroughly to get hold of his or her characters. 

Is she or he trustworthy? How was the relationship between her and her last employer? Do not assume anything.
