    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has announced a ban on all flights, to and from Somalia with effect from 13th November, which was yesterday, including scheduled passenger flights in the two countries. We understand the reason given to be the possible terrorist threat from Somalia following the recent alert by the US Embassy in this country. The impact of the ban not only derails the efforts by the Government and the people of Kenya to reconcile the worrying parties in Somalia, but also has disastrous effects both socially and economically on the people of North Eastern Province, and in particular, on the people of Kenya. Therefore, could the Minister of State for Administration and National Security tell this House the rationale behind the decision, how it will benefit the people of Kenya, and whether the actions were merely intended to comply with the US demands which run contrary to what the Minister for Foreign Affairs tabled in this House last week?"
