"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I totally agree with you. Committees should not have the excuse of clerks. When a Member asks for an investigative issue pertaining to a Committee, there is always a bit of laxity on the Committees; they are not taking hon. Members’ issues very seriously. Also, the issue hon. Eng. Gumbo has raised is a matter of national importance. It is a matter that we should not watch. Today our diplomats who are everywhere in the world and more so in the USA, if they kill an American, a Briton, French, or a German, they cannot leave those countries. They would be arrested. Here we have a situation where a USA diplomat killed an innocent father of three children living in one of the slums of Nairobi. The following evening the embassy evacuated him from the country. This is why we have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I want to now direct that this Committee should bring this answer on Tuesday. If they do not bring it on Tuesday then you can refer it to me and I will engage the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the Minister in charge of internal security to bring a comprehensive answer to the country and this House on why a foreign diplomat can kill a Kenyan and leave the country the following evening and we have a widow and her three sons suffering in the slums. This country is 50 years since independence. Our diplomats cannot do this in Washington. They cannot do it in Paris, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
