    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, allow me to start by thanking the Leader of Majority Party. This question was asked more than three weeks ago. I asked it because I am a believer in our country. I believe in the dignity of the people of Kenya and every Kenyan, irrespective of their status in society has to be respected and especially so by foreigners. Hon. Deputy Speaker, diplomats collide with the law from time to time and it is not the first time. Most times whenever diplomats collide with the law, as the able Leader of Majority Party has said, they tend to hide under Article 37(2) of Vienna Convention of 1949. The Article does not say that you can ignore the rule of law and you can behave in uncivilized manner and still claim diplomatic immunity. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank the Kenya Government for demanding that this diplomat, who has become a criminal because he was driving on the wrong side of the road and he killed an innocent and poor Kenyan whose only fault was walking home on Ngecha Road, be brought to justice. I call upon the Leader of Majority Party to take it up with the Ministry of Foreign Affair to make sure that Mr. Walde is brought back to Kenya to face justice in this country for killing a Kenyan."
