    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this issue very strongly. We travelled to South Africa with Commissioner Ali who is one of our appointed commissioners from outside Parliament. We were shocked when he was denied entry just because the name on his yellow fever card and the passport did not match completely and the date of birth. We tried to plead with the Ministry and our High Commission was even alerted. The immigration would not even listen to the High Commissioner when she tried to plead with them and even refused to allow her to come in to see Commissioner Ali and try to plead for him. Definitely, we are being mistreated and South Africans are not reciprocating our kindness. Kenya was very instrumental in helping them to get Independence when they had apartheid. Those of us who got in raised this even with the Parliament of South Africa. Of course, they were non-committal and a bit sorry but it is the immigration. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also request that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade complains on our behalf about the mistreatment of a Commissioner and an hon. Member of the Kenyan Parliament. He is not an elected Member but he is in a Commission and a former MP."
