    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a Personal Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.76, following a 29th July, Nation newspaper article titled “Minister and MP give cash to terrorists.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report quotes a UN, Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Unit and claims that hon. Najib Balala and I made donations that were then later used for terrorism. The report and subsequent coverage portrayed me as a person who supports terrorism and gives donations to questionable charitable activities. The report alleges that a Kshs500,000 donation that I gave to the Pumwani Riyadha Mosque was used to fund Al Shabaab. I wish to confirm that I was, in September, 2009, invited to the third reconstruction Harambee for the Pumwani Riyadha Mosque. I was unable to attend but made a personal pledge of Kshs500,000, a promise I was only able to fulfill in February, 2011. I have extremely strong ties with the Pumwani Riyadha Mosque. Three generations of my family have prayed in that mosque since the 1930s. I spent three years learning Quran in that mosque and the teacher who taught me then still teaches in that"
