    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this matter and support the Statement that has just been read by the Chair, Hon. Katoo ole Metito. I do not know whether our colleague thought about the weight of the words that he uttered yesterday and the fact that those who are working here from other nations and, more so, Uganda and Tanzania, are bringing us foreign exchange and giving our people a lot of business. Hon. Speaker, the fact is that our people in both countries enjoy doing business and living together. We cannot forget that, recently, we had the issue of xenophobia in South Africa. We saw people being beaten up and asked to go back to their countries. This country, which we respect, and which is loved the world over, should never be associated with such statements. I would like to support my colleague, the Chairman, and utterances that have been made by Hon. Mbadi. We would like our people to enjoy where they are living; I mean Kenyans who are working across the border. Also, those who have opened shops and other forms of businesses within our country should enjoy. Therefore, I associate myself with the Statement. It is important that when our colleague, Jaguar, gets an opportunity, he apologises to foreigners doing business in Kenya and to Kenyans doing business outside this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
