    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be brief. I serve in this Committee as a Member with my neighbor here. There are compelling reasons and justification for this Motion for an extension of time. As ably prosecuted by the Mover, Kenyans suffered a great deal during the bombing in 1998. Several Kenyans died and many were maimed. 25 years down the line, they have not been compensated. It should be known that the suffering Kenyans were going through for that period arose out of a bombing by terrorists, not because they were fighting the Kenyan population or the Kenyan Government. This was an incident targeting the United States of America Embassy. Kenyans suffered because of a situation existing between the terrorists and the American Government. For 25 years there has been no attention given to these Kenyans. For the first time, this House has taken the step to seek compensation. As a Member of this Committee, we have had meetings with many stakeholders. However, we want to escalate this conversation to the United States of America Government to engage the Senate and other stakeholders. This also includes the Embassy of the United States of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
