    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, while I do not want to belabor this point, last week I said that as a Kenyan who believes in this country, I am very bothered about what appears to be poor treatment of Kenyan citizens. They are being treated as second grade citizens. I referred specifically to a case where a bride and her brother-in- law were murdered in broad daylight in Nairobi and the killers have not yet been found yet a foreigner who was murdered at night in Nanyuki, the killers were found two days later. These issues concern us because as Kenyans we must feel that the Government is concerned about our welfare. A Kenyan was killed and the diplomat chose to run away and I think it is important. I want to request, through you and possibly with the indulgence of the Leader of the Majority Party that this matter touches on the sovereignty of Kenya. I would request that when the Committee deliberates on this matter, it actually calls the Cabinet Secretary so that we understand why a diplomat would kill a Kenyan and the next thing in their mind is to run away and leave behind an expectant widow who has three children. It is totally inhuman. If these issues cannot concern us Members then we are failing the people we are elected here to represent."
