    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the issue raised by Mr. Imanyara, we have a reciprocal relationship with China. We are working on a protocol for prison exchange. Once it is ready, we will be able to see how we can exchange prisoners. We also know that even in this country, we passed a law that prescribes very harsh penalties on drugs; both trafficking and consumption. Many countries have similar penalties and we cannot possibly interfere with their local jurisdiction. However, we do believe that given the cordial and warm relations with China and the representation we have given to them, they will commute the death sentences to life imprisonment which we can negotiate to bring those young Kenyans to serve their sentences here. Thank you for allowing me to make a Ministerial Statement without a request from hon. Members."
