    "content": "I would want him to clarify why Nadhifa, the wife of Hussein Hassan Agade, was held for three weeks if the only charge was being an illegal immigrant and why Uganda would mistreat a Kenyan that way, when we are moving towards a federation of the East African State. Since the Minister answering is also the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, what is the procedure for Kenyans entering Uganda and those living and whether he is aware that today one member of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), Mr. Hassan Omar Hassan, together with Sam Muhunyi, a lawyer, Sheikh Hashim and Harid Hussein have all been denied access to Uganda where they were going to see these suspects? You might wish to clarify to this House whether that is not hostile action by Uganda. I also would like the Minister in line with his answer to clarify why one of the suspects, Ismael Abubakar, has been illegally renditioned to Uganda twice. The first time, it was along with the others but he was released in November. When he came to Kenya, he was again arrested by the ATPU and renditioned to Uganda a second time. Could you also confirm to us whether the Kenyan Government has provided lawyers for these suspects and what the Government is doing if the charges were preferred first in a Ugandan court on 4th February, 2010 when they first appeared in court and up to today, the hearing has not commenced? It is quite clear that the Ugandan authorities do not have any evidence. While we condemn acts of terrorism, is it in order for the Government of Kenya to willingly allow the torture and illegal detention of Kenyans in Ugandan jails?"
