    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a lot of money will be channelled into this country because of our association with the Britons. In any event, we must always take into account that the British can go to Tanzania and Uganda. I am not certain as to whether Kenya has a strategic reason for this base to be established in Nanyuki. I have heard the oppression that has been done by the British people in Nanyuki. I agree we need to counter that. That has been addressed in the agreement. For the first time in the history of this country, we have provided a clause which says these people will be subject to the laws of this country like the Constitution, the criminal law and other regulations of this country. It is the first time we are experiencing such kind of operation. For a very long time, most foreigners operating in this country, particularly those operating at the best of a state have been shielded against criminal prosecution. Therefore, I support the Motion to the extent that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade has negotiated an agreement which makes the British people become subject to the Kenyan law. The agreement which allows the British people to become subject to our laws is a progress which we must thank the people who negotiated the agreement."
