    "content": ".: Madam Temporary Speaker, you can understand why all of us are infuriated. The contradiction about the Statement that Sen. Wetangula is referring to is because the distress calls that we are receiving through social media shows that Kenyans in South Africa are unsafe. The second thing is that Africa has stood very firm and said: “If you want to go to South Africa to live like monkeys, go and do so, but leave our countries with your investments.” You must laud the Nigerians for being proactive even in a wrong way. They sent a message. South Africa’s largest investment in Nigeria, MTN, was sent parking. We have not made a Statement. We are quietly watching and the Government has said nothing. We are consuming their goods and services like DSTV.

The Government of Kenya and the President of the Republic have let down Kenyans because these are his appointees. We must tell them as such. Kenyans have gone to South Africa for many reasons, including studies, as expatriates and tourism, yet those South Africans can carry spears and spear their fellow Africans. Even the statement by Hon. Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) was not strong enough. He pleaded with them in a manner to suggest he was trying to persuade them that: “Brothers and sisters, do not do this.” He should have said: “Arrest these people.” This is because what they are doing is against international law. What they have done is mass killing under the International Criminal Court (ICC) Statutes. The nations of the world must demand that the actions visited upon Africans are crimes against humanity. If South Africans cannot punish the perpetrators of these acts, like it is stipulated in the ICC Statutes, then cases must commence against the powers that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
