    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the House that the recent unrest in Egypt was sparked by developments in Tunisia where street protests have forced President Ben Ali to cede power and leave the country after ruling for 24 years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a result of that, there have been other protests in other countries within northern Africa, and indeed, the Arab world. But demonstrations have particularly been large in Egypt in the cities of Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and others. It is expected that Egyptians will turn up in large numbers after the Friday prayers for a planned match to the palace of the President. As a result of that observation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been closely monitoring the situation in Egypt. We have been maintaining close contact with the Kenyan Ambassador, Mr. Dave Arunga. Communication has been difficult since the crisis began because there have been some disruptions in telephone and internet communications. However, I want to announce that we made contact with the Kenya Airways in Cairo and the office has given the Ambassador a mobile satellite telephone."
