    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we really appreciate the efforts of Sen. Adan. We also sympathise with the predicament in which the Executive keep putting her by sending her incompetent answers to give to this House. However, in this particular matter, I implore the Chair to use your authority and direct that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government removes these Kenyans from the gate of Parliament and takes them to a safe holding ground while they sort out the identities and what other action they wish to take about them. As the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County has said, the Ministry itself is saying that some are impostors, cons and some are genuine and others not genuine – all manner of jumbled up descriptions which makes the distinguished Senator’s job very difficult to even defend a Statement of that nature. From where you sit, the Speaker of this House can direct and order the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to take urgent necessary actions to put these people somewhere. It is a scandal, like I said, that Kenyans can come and camp at the gate and one of them, a woman, gives birth on the road and nobody is moved. Instead, we are told that they are split families and some are claiming money while they had been paid. They start off by saying that they went to Uganda and called them to come back. So, if we called them to come back, why do we put them in that kind of plight?"
