    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I commend the AdHoc Committee for the good job they have done. It is unfair for the American Government to compensate its citizens and leave out Kenyans. Yesterday I saw some video clips in the media. The victims of the bomb blast were crying because of the kind of life they have been undergoing since that time. It is unfair for the American Government, being a friendly nation to Kenya, to compensate its citizens and leave out Kenyans who are in dire need of the support because of that accident that happened to them. I urge Members of the mandated Ad Hoc Committee to go and present their case accordingly to the US Senate. They should hold talks with Senators of the US. I believe that can be done since the US is a friendly nation to Kenya. Definitely they will listen to their grievances and compensate Kenyans who suffered as a result of the bomb blast. I have had an opportunity to travel with the Senate Minority Leader to the US. We had an opportunity to speak with a lawyer representing the victims. According to the statement by that lawyer, the only thing we are required to do is for the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to seek an appointment with the US Senate and prosecute their case. I believe that the Government of the US is ready to listen to Kenyans. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
