    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very difficult to talk politely or kindly about the behavior of the South African people and its leadership. In my view, the people and leadership of South Africa are criminals. Therefore, I do not know how to go about Standing Order No.96 that you alluded to. This is because these people are criminals in their leadership, followership and they have committed crimes against humanity. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are three things that need to be looked at urgently. What is our Government doing to evacuate and protect the property of Kenyan victims who are in South Africa? If our Government is doing nothing, then the people charged with the responsibility of doing something are also aiding and abetting criminals to continue killing Kenyans. Therefore, by extension, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is also aiding and abetting crime against Kenyans committed on foreign soil. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, what is the Kenyan leadership doing to provide a travel advisory to any person who might be thinking of going to South Africa? Now that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is doing nothing and is praising the Government of South Africa for continuing to commit crimes against Kenyans and other Africans, what are they doing to warn anybody not to go to South Africa for any reason until further notice? If they are not doing that and any Kenyan goes to South Africa and gets hurt because there is no help, again, that will be aiding, abetting and even laying further entrapment to Kenyans who might want to go to South Africa. Madam Temporary Speaker, I recently wanted to go to South Africa with a few relatives for treatment, but I do not want to die. I am, therefore, not going there. I have decided to advise myself not to go there. If I or any of my relatives is to die, let that death be here in Kenya or somewhere where the Government can reach out and bring me home. Thirdly, Madam Temporary Speaker, dealing with crime must be done in such a manner that you hold the criminals responsible. You must ensure that those responsible for the crime are held accountable for the crime they have committed, and that process must be through a legally known process. You have heard Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. indicate that we have the ICC. Since South Africa is officially and unofficially killing Africans, including Kenyans, what is our Government, together with other governments of goodwill, doing to ensure that the leadership of South Africa, starting with President Ramaphosa and other people, are taken to the ICC so that they are called out there? If they are unable to prosecute the criminals who have killed Africans and Kenyans and if they are unable to put in place mechanisms of giving back or reinstating the properties that have been damaged that belongs to Kenyans---"
