"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion by the Senator for Machakos County on the Compensation of Kenyan Victims from the Bombing of the United States (US) Embassy in 1998. Disaster strikes when least expected as it happened in 1998 when Kenyans were awakened to international terrorism. It is saddening to know that since it happened, 25 years ago, the American Government has compensated some of the American individuals and families yet Kenyans are still languishing and suffering. I read that as discrimination in the sense that there are Kenyans who lost their lives, some got maimed, disabled and others blind. They are suffering. Even those who survived may not take their children to school or contribute to nation building as expected of them. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Kenyans who were working at the American Embassy and other who were in the adjacent buildings suffered. Some lost their lives and others suffered as it has been stated. The USA prides herself in democracy. It would be prudent for the Government of the USA to compensate Kenyan victims who suffered from this act of international terrorism. Looking at what has been happening, there are so many other disasters and international terrorist attacks that have happened and action has been taken. Why leave out these Kenyans?"
