John Kerry, US Secretary of State visited in 2015 and Robert Godec, US Ambassador and Laurie Monkeson visited in 2018. Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State visited the Memorial Park in 2018. David Hale, the US Secretary for Political Affairs visited in 2019. Eric Kneedler, the US Charge d’ Affairs visited in 2018. Margaret Whitman, US Ambassador visited in 2022 and just most recently, Jill Biden, the US First Lady visited the scene this year, 2023. Madam Temporary Speaker, all these dignitaries being aware of what happened in Kenya, that our people died and some are still suffering; I do not see why they should not be included in this fund. That is why I am requesting the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora and the US Embassy to speak to the American Government to include Kenyans in this fund so that they can be compensated. I had agreed with Sen. Cherarkey that he would second me, but since he is not here, let Sen. Oketch Gicheru second me. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
