    "content": "Suba South, ODM): Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I begin by first noting that there exists a proper legal framework for the overseas deployment of our policemen and policewomen in Sections 107 and 108 of the National Police Service Act. That matter rests there. However, I urge that proper gazette notices be issued by the Executive to give effect to those provisions. The seeds of the current turmoil in Haiti commenced with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. If you have had the privilege of reading the book The BlackJacobins, 1962 by C.L.R. James, who taught my friend who has just left, the Member for Kamukunji, the author begins by saying that Christopher Columbus landed in the New World and after praising God, he urgently inquired for gold. In other words, it was an expedition of exploitation. When they annihilated the indigenous Indian population of Haiti, efforts were made to trans-ship Africans from the West Coast of Africa to Haiti. Since then, Haiti has prospered and created a lot of wealth for many people, but it has also been a tragedy for Africans.
