    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On 25th May, 2020, I sought a Statement on the shooting down of a Kenyan aircraft in Somalia. In the Statement, I requested the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to investigate the shooting down and maybe bring a report to the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to date, I have not had any engagement with the concerned Committee. To make matters worse, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules provides that a preliminary report be issued by the host country where the accident occurred and what measures they are taking to avoid future accidents. Mr. Speaker, Sir, so far that report has not been issued. The matter was investigated by both the Kenyan and Ethiopian governments. The delay in the release of this report is also delaying compensation that could be paid by the insurer of the aircraft to the families of the victims and also those who were involved in the accident. I am seeking your intervention so that the concerned Committee can rise up and take up this matter. This is because time is running. Within one year from the date when the accident occurred that is the 4th May, 2020, this matter may not be brought up in any court of law. This is because the IATA rules provides that any claim which is supposed to be made has to be made within a period of 12 months from the date of the accident. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for your intervention in this important matter because five Kenyans died as a result of this accident which was occasioned by the negligence of the members of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) stationed in Somalia in the area of El Bardale."
