    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to suggest that, for that reason they cannot pay Abass when he knows that every year, the Government of Kenya pays out monies to widows, through two special funds called the Asiatic Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund and the European Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund? These are widows of officers who served with Abass Sheikh before Independence. The Government has no shame of setting aside funds for those people and leave out a group of other people, who are actually black Kenyans. Is this not the same discrimination that the House has been talking about this afternoon? In view of that fact, could he tell us when they are going to set up a fund to not only address the issue of Abass, but also those of many people like Abass who served during that same time, including Mr. Lukhano of Kakamega, who is in a similar situation?"
