    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to support this Motion. What happened in this country in 1998 was terrible. Many people died, others were injured and disabled. I know quite a number of petitioners in this matter no longer have their sight out of the blast. This disability happened to them when they were mature. For those who died, their representatives are still waiting for compensation up to today. The most important thing in the sequence of events, is that a fund was set up for the whole world where American institutions are targeted by terrorists. This was an attack to the American Government. Kenya became collateral damage. Therefore, where such activities happen, it is only fair they come up with this fund and compensate victims as the American Government. Many of those who were disabled can still undergo reconstructive surgery and go back to their normal finesse. They are waiting for this moment so that it can happen. What is left for this fund to be actualised, is a law to be passed in the American Houses; the Senate and the Congress. For this to happen, we have to lobby our colleagues in the United States of America (USA) so that they expedite the passing of this law to actualise this fund. Once passed, it will not only serve Kenya but also other countries which have been attacked while Americans are targeted. In this case, 12 Americans and 213 Kenyans died. We really suffered. Ordinarily, those are very many years to have passed without compensation at all. When you come to the composition of the Members who have been proposed, first I want to thank the House that I am one of them. Owing to the National Prayer"
