    "content": "c) What specific issues led to Mr. Aydin leaving the country and was the departure voluntary or not, and why was he asked to leave? d) Why was he not charged before a court of law despite being held in detention illegally for over 48 hours in contravention of our own Constitution, all international conventions and the rule of law that govern this country? e) What has the Government done so far to reassure the Turkish Government and its people? Turkey is our first hand trading partner with billions of Kenya shillings in trade between the two countries, especially in the textile industry. Hundreds of thousands of Kenyans are employed directly and indirectly through trade between the two countries. Hon. Speaker, more importantly, many Members of Parliament, this year, have been visiting Turkey for training. I am aware, even as we speak, there are MPs who could be in Turkey. There are also other investors in the country. What is the assurance that they will not be mistreated in Kenya the way Mr. Aydin was mistreated through illegal arrest and detention for a whole weekend? I beg to ask the Chairperson to take the matter more seriously beyond the politics that has been tied to this issue"
