    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second and support. I want to agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that there is no reason for Members of Parliament in Kenya to have problems when they are in South Africa. We give these people very cordial treatment. At the weekend, a South African beat up a Kenyan policewoman; a pilot whose credentials are even being questioned. We want to plead. When Tanzanians go to South Africa, they do not even require visas and we are from East Africa. South Africa seems to have a bone to pick with Kenyans. For us to keep supporting this African Union (AU) to be headquartered in South Africa, they must give us respect. Even ordinary Kenyans are suffering in South Africa. This House has a duty to voice the suffering of its people in the hands of foreigners to the extent that some pilot beats up a Kenyan in public. I saw the charges against that pilot and I want to suggest to the prosecuting authorities to charge that gentleman, if he is a gentleman, with racism and battering a woman. He needs to be charged with a lot of charges because that is what they do to us in their country. I know what they do to our people and I have no mercy for that kind of a thing. Hon. Billow Kerrow is a man of quality. I have always wondered why the Senate needed to go there, but we must support the name of Billow Kerrow because he adds to the good image of this country. He is in Jubilee where there is very little good to say, but he is among the few we can take and put the image. Lastly, because he is replacing Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen who is in the limelight today, it cannot go without me saying something. I met Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen."
