    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my Chair, Sen. Kavindu Muthama, for the Statement that she has read in the House. It is unfortunate that 25 years down the line, Kenyan victims of that unfortunate situation have not been compensated. I am a Member of the Committee. We have had several engagements with various stakeholders. The suffering I witnessed on Monday, when we had a prayer session with the victims is heart-breaking. Let me confirm to this House that as it has been said by the Chair, as a Committee, we will engage various stakeholders. We have the consortium of victims, the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, the United States Congress and lawyers of the victims. I believe that the Government of Kenya, led by His Excellency the President, will listen. This is an issue which our nation should support the victims. On that Monday, I got shocked that we have a new crop of victims of this incident, the so called silent victims. These are children who were born after the bomb blast. We can talk of very young people of 25 years."
