    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In a normal African proverb, we say that if two bulls fight, it is the grass that suffers. In an American proverb, they call us Africans. Some Muslims in the Middle East are called collateral damage. These are human lives being called collateral damage. What Sen. Kavindu Muthama is asking for is long overdue. It should have happened many years ago. It is the responsibility of the Kenyan Government to protect the lives and properties of Kenyans. It is enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. About 213 Kenyans and 12 Americans lost their lives. Over 5,000 people got injured and extended families of about 10,000 have suffered because of the injuries of their relatives. In support of this Motion, the Americans, particularly the Senate of America needs to look at this matter as though it happened in America and not in Kenya. This is because these people did not have any issues with Kenyans. They had issues with the American Citizens. Madam Temporary Speaker, Americans definitely have good intelligence. They have got this report that there are terrorists out there who are going to sabotage American interests in Kenya. They knew it. It is now over 25 years since 1998 and our people are still waiting to be compensated."
