    "content": "to massive disruption of function for a community or individual that often exceeds their capacity to cope using existing resources. FURTHER AWARE THAT, such was the case with the 1998 US Embassy Bomb disaster in Nairobi in which many of the Kenyan casualties resulted from the collapse of adjacent buildings located within a two to three block radius, and with reverberations being felt in most parts of Nairobi that resulted in 213 Kenyans and 12 Americans killed and over 5000 citizens of both countries being seriously injured. NOTING THAT, US Allies, including Kenya, have endured the great burden of death, and long-term and in many instances permanent, physical and psychological injury. FURTHER NOTING THAT, the USA Government has since compensated some of the victims and families of US citizens, leaving the families of Kenyan citizens and certain other victims uncompensated. NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate resolves to establish an Ad Hoc committee to – (i) engage the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs to advance friendship and co-operation between the United States of America and Kenya by supporting the eligibility of Kenyan and American victims and their personal representatives, surviving spouses and next of kins in the Victim Compensation Fund, pursuant to the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act; (ii) coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs in the engagement of victims, their personal representatives, the USA government and other stakeholders at home and abroad to pursue and accomplish the compensation of victims and families of the victims of Kenyan nationals; and, (iii) coordinate with the Ministry of Health to explore subsidized medical treatment for the surviving victims of the bomb blast and submit a report to the House within 90 days with effect from 3rd July, 2023. AND FURTHER THAT, the following Senators be appointed to serve in the Ad Hoc committee: 1. Sen. Agnes Kavindu Muthama, MP 2. Sen. Daniel Maanzo, MP 3. Sen. Alexander Mundigi, MP 4. Sen. Beatrice Ogolla, MP 5. Sen. Johnnes Mwaruma, MP 6. Sen. Mohamed Said Chute, MP 7. Sen. Jackson Mandago, MP 8. Sen. William Cheptumo, MP. 9. Sen. Peris Tobiko, MP."
