    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security with regard to the current status or progress report on Kenyans who were renditioned to Uganda last year, and who are being held in connection with the Kampala bombing. They have already been arraigned in court. The case has not commenced for over six months. I would like the Minister to let the House know why Kenya cannot have those Kenyans, who were illegally renditioned to Uganda, repatriated back to Kenya and, if at all there is evidence, tried in Kenya and if there is no evidence, set free to join their families. The Minister should also let us know why the spouse of one of the renditioned Kenyans was detained in Uganda for three weeks, together with her infant child, when she went to see her husband. The Minister should also tell us why the lawyer who had gone to follow up the matter of the rendition Kenyans, including a prominent human rights activist, one Al Amin Kimathi; were detained in Uganda. We want to know the progress of what the Government is doing to ensure that those Kenyans are accorded justice; that they are returned to their own country where they can be processed if at all they were involved; and whether Kenya is giving them legal support in Uganda, especially the Government having admitted that the rendition was illegal in the first place."
