    "content": "to school; orphans, widows and widowers. It is not a situation where we want to bring a report which is not complete and comprehensive. The extension is justifiable. As said by a colleague here, we also need to go to America. We are already planning to have a session with the Senate of the USA so that we are able to look at the legal framework in that country. The challenge we have is that there is no legal framework that enables the Government of the USA to pay the victims of this bomb blast. Kenya is a friend to USA. We also want to use that relationship, which is cordial to at least push the agenda so that we get these Kenyans who have been suffering from 1998 up to now are compensated. It is a very sad situation. We have had Government of Mzee Moi. This situation arose while he was the President. President Kibaki came in for ten years. Uhuru Kenyatta also came in for ten years and now it is President Ruto leading us. It is therefore, a situation that has really been ignored and neglected for a long time. I thank my Chairperson here because it is her initiative to raise this issue. It is a moment for this House to give this Committee reasonable time so that we comprehensively conclude these investigations and come back to the House. This House will also be counted as a House that was able to rise up and deal with the situation that Kenyans who were victims of the bomb blast suffered. I support and I believe we will come back to the House with a very comprehensive report for posterity of our country."
