    "content": "If those people were to be sent away, why were Kenyans not allowed to take over those institutions, so that they could help the less fortunate people? It is a fact that other religions have such institutions, and they have never been closed. So, nobody should say that this is propaganda. It is not propaganda. It is a fact. Anybody can read newspapers and find out the registration status of those institutions. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, piracy is an international issue. It is not only for Kenya. The ransom money earned through piracy is said to be coming into Kenya, even though up to now nobody has proven that this money, indeed, comes directly to Kenya. It might be finding its way to other places. What we know is that there were so many refugees from Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan and Uganda, as well as many Kenyans from all tribes, who took advantage of the arrangement by the United States of America (USA) to send away the Somali Bantu people from Somalia. They all claimed to be Somali Bantu and found their way into Somalia as refugees. It is these people, including Kenyan Somalis, who might have taken advantage of the opportunity to go and work in the USA, because the USA Government was airlifting them, who are sending money to buy properties in this country. That is a fact. We would like the Treasury to find out from commercial banks where the remittances are coming from, particularly now that there is the problem of economic recession affecting the whole world. Those Kenyans would like to come back. That is why they would like us to change the law to introduce dual citizenship. They want to have properties here. So, it is not piracy money that is being used to buy properties in Kenya. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is ailing from drugs money. There is a lot of drugs money coming into this country. If you watch television, you know that women in Mombasa are crying. They are demonstrating because drug barons are in Nairobi, Mombasa and even in this House! What is the Government doing about it? It is doing nothing!"
