    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Meru County has been mentioned by hon. A.B. Duale to have the highest number of cases of homosexuality reported in the courts. He gave us nine challenges which are faced when investigating these cases. Could he clarify whether Meru County has overcome all these challenges and that is why these cases are so high in Meru County? I remember when we visited Belgium two weeks ago, as my brother, hon. Aden, has mentioned, the European Parliament made this a big issue. Even our mission there was interrupted for almost one day when they challenged us on these issues of homosexuality and lesbianism, noting that Uganda had passed law against gayism. Therefore, as I seek clarification, let me say that the European Parliament should not take us the way they want to take us and impose sanctions on African countries. One Member of European Parliament from United Kingdom - we realized later on that he is the president of gays and lesbians in Europe - actually almost molested us because of this law.
