    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I applaud the Committee for what they have been doing. This extension of time is well within the law because we want this Committee to come up with legislative policy interventions. If such events, God forbid, happen in this Republic, we should have a legislative intervention on how we can handle such matters. It is sad 30 years from 1998 to now, many Kenyans who were victims of the bomb blast in USA embassy here in Nairobi, are yet to be compensated. We also have victims of the same in Nandi. I call upon the Committee to continue listening to many stakeholders so that by the time they are writing their report, they are able to give us the true picture, legislative and policy. I also expect, I saw in their timetable, to visit the USA and meet the USA Senate and have comparison because apparently the comparative analysis between the USA Senate and us is almost similar. I wish the Committee well. I know there are prominent personalities. After this extension, by the time they table their report, we will be excited to look into the content. I believe we shall be able to adopt it in our House. What is important and is the joy of every Kenyan, is the day their justice is served through not only compensation, but apology from the American Government to the victims. With those many remarks, I beg to support and wish the Committee well under the stewardship of the Senator of Machakos, Sen. Kavindu Muthama."
