    "content": " Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the very deep concerns from the Hon. Member, but he seems to come from a point of information that he did not articulate in the Request for the Statement, especially the issue of arrest. I am looking at the five points that he raised. In fact, it bordered on asking how much money we got, which the Cabinet Secretary (CS) has actually enumerated to be over USD900,000. However, as to whether they were arrested and harassed, it did not come out. It should have been the case if you had asked why they were arrested, harassed and so on, which was not part of the issues raised. I do not have such an answer. I am unaware whether that happened. However, from the hind side, he seems to know it. More significantly, looking at the last part of the answer – I am just deducing from what I am reading because I am not the Cabinet Secretary. I only transmit what the Cabinet Secretary brings to the Committee – it says that there were 18,322 Pakistanis who visited Kenya between June 2021 and to-date but 18,373 Pakistanis left Kenya around the same time. So, it is like some were leaving while others were coming in. As to whether they all came in at the same time or they came in between June 2021 and to-date in small numbers, I am not aware. So, the question of balancing the numbers of those coming in with those going out is almost at per. In fact, those who left were more than those who came in. That is what I can deduce from the answer. Thank you."
