"content": "We are being extremely insensitive, especially ourselves as the representatives of the people. I am strongly opposed to the idea of sending our children to Haiti and time will vindicate us. As I speak, the only presence we have of America in Somalia is through the bombings they are doing against the Al-Shabaab. We should be leaders who think, reflect and assist our President in making the right decisions. We are not here to rubber-stamp what the Executive wants. We are here to act in the best interest of the people we represent. The people going to Haiti could be my brother or Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s brother. Do we not think about the exposure we are giving these Kenyans? Healthcare in Haiti does not function. They speak a language called Creole, which is not French and you cannot communicate. I am speaking as a sad Kenyan. We are making statements showing that we do not care about the lives of the people we are sending to Haiti."
