    "content": "deeply concerned about the conduct of the American Ambassador to Kenya, H. E. Michael Ranneberger in respect of his activities which portray Kenyan leaders in negative light; noting further that his recent activities in the country in dealing with the youth and during the pre-referendum period amount to undermining elected leaders in the country; cognizant that his conduct is indirect contravention of Article 41 of the Vienna Convention which states inter alia “without prejudice to their privileges and immunities, it is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State and that they also have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State;” this House censures H. E. Michael Ranneberger, the American Ambassador to Kenya for his undiplomatic conduct and resolves that he be recalled back and another official be deployed in his place in order to preserve the existing cordial relations between the two countries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish from the outset to say that Kenya is a sovereign State. Our forefathers fought for the Independence of this country. They gave up their lives and went into the forests. They left their families and went without food, so that Kenya could be free. We were given Independence after a trial period by the British."
