    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with a lot of pain, I rise to contribute to this Motion. Sen. Mugo narrated very clearly what necessitated her to seek this Statement. This matter affects Kenyans. I congratulate you, Sen. Mugo, for being concerned about a poor Kenyan who had no capacity even to come and approach you. This is a poor mother who was pregnant, had labour pains and went to the best maternity hospital in this country expecting to give birth to her twins, bring them up to add to the population of this country and to bring up Kenyans who might have changed the lives of many people. I do not know whether I will abstain, reject or support this Motion. I do not know what position I will take at the end of my contribution. The reason is that what Sen. Mugo sought was not about the bodies of the twins, but about the disappearance of new born twins. There is nowhere that she has quoted through her request for that Statement that there is a possibility that the twins died. It is the disappearance of two children. It pains me when Ms. Jacinta says to Sen. Mugo, “I gave birth to live children and I heard them cry and that was the end.” She could not breast feed her children. She was left with the pain of giving birth and the pain of losing her children. When I look at the forward of the Report, on page three, the second paragraph from the bottom, it says:- “The Committee recognises the complexities of this subject. We acknowledge the need for a long term approach in ensuring that this situation does not occur again.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a life of a human being, whether they were two hours or 30 minutes old when they disappeared. That life before the eyes of the creator is the same as the life of Sen. Muthama, Sen. (Prof.) Leshan, Sen. Lesuuda and everybody here. But a tedious investigation by this Committee was done. What we are not seeing here – and what would have been the highlight of this Report – is that children were born, they died or disappeared. It is between disappearing of the children being alive and a box being taken to City Mortuary wrapped and the situation remains there. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are turning out to be a society that will need Jesus Christ to come and close Kenya once and for all as he did at Noah’s time and bring a new generation that will do things in a different way. We are stealing land. We started by stealing money and we found it was not enough. We went to land and we found it was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
