    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in South Africa itself, crime has increased by 52 per cent in the last one year. There have been estimated 50 murders, 148 rapes and nearly 700 serious assaults committed every day. It is definitely frightening to anybody. We have spoken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in South Africa and our mission there as well. First of all, we would like to advise all Kenyans going to South Africa, for whatever business, to avoid night flights. That is because the risks of attacks are more imminent. Secondly, to our colleagues who go to the Pan African Parliament, we want to advise them that whenever they go, as much as is practically possible, they should go as a group. They should inform my Ministry. We will then inform our mission in Pretoria to arrange for protocol and escort from the airport to wherever they are going. Those who arrive in Johannesburg at night are advised not to go to the city. They should find accommodation around the airport and go to the city the next day. That will minimise the risk of being attacked by armed gangsters. I express my sympathy to my good friend, Mr. Ligale, for the attack on his son. We will take up that issue. Let him, please, pass on the information, so that we can give it to the mission in Pretoria to take it up. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
