"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, I was saying that it is something that causes me personal pain and embarrassment as the Senator for Nairobi that Dr. Besigye faces the things he is facing right now, including an illegal and unconstitutional court martial. He was abducted in my own City of Nairobi. It causes me great embarrassment as a Kenyan that we handed over Dr. Kizza Besigye, who is a personal friend of mine, to the authorities in Uganda. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of Uganda has said that the trial is unconstitutional and should be discontinued, the State in Uganda continues to disobey that court. The delegation from Uganda, know that you have brothers in Kenya who will stand on guard to ensure the freedom of Dr. Kizza Besigye, and we restore Kenya as a safe haven of people who believe in democracy in this world. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I welcome them and let them feel free in Kenya, knowing that the Constitution of our country guarantees freedom for all."
