    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not even giving an opinion. I was factual. As to what Ms. Ndung'u said, again, in a foreign jurisdiction, it is difficult for our Mission, or Government, to guarantee the security and safety of people who live there. The best we can do is to liaise with the countries where we have good relations, so that the safety of our people is guaranteed, as we also guarantee the security of other nationals who live here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on what Mr. Ndolo asked, whenever Kenyans die outside the country, it is normally up to their families to arrange to bring the bodies back home for disposal. In the case of Mrs. Kuria, it is the Kenyans in Atlanta who raised the US$65,000. The Government was not involved in the fundraising. Where there are cases of total distress, and our Ministry is notified, then we find ways and means of assisting. This can only be on a case-to-case basis. It cannot be a Government policy to transport bodies from outside the country back home."
