    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, what is happening in South Africa should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. I would say it is primitive, Neanderthal, and barbaric. It is a reflection of our continent in a very negative way all over the world. Currently, countries all over the world are experiencing globalization. Every country is welcoming people from other countries because that is the only way you demonstrate to the whole world that you are civilized and going forward. We saw in the social media a lady being molested in the streets, stripped naked and beaten to death. That is totally inhuman! Yesterday, I received phone calls from some of my friends in South Africa, four of them who have businesses there. Upon inquiring about their businesses, they told me that they closed them down two weeks ago and that our country should be worried about their lives. They were even unable to go to the airport to catch their planes to come back home. The relevant Committee of this House that is in charge of foreign affairs should wake up from what they are doing and invite this particular Cabinet Secretary (CS), who is sleeping on her job, to come and tell us what steps she has taken to save our people in South Africa. The fact that she is silent about what is happening to our people in South Africa is one way of proving to this House that she is doing completely nothing in her office. The Committee on Foreign Affairs should invite the CS for Foreign Affairs and International Trade as a matter of urgency. They should even invite her to Kitui next week. If possible, we should have a Committee of the Whole so that we make sure that this particular lady who is the CS, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade does something to save Kenyans in South Africa. They are no longer worried about their businesses; they are worried about their lives. It is very interesting. I want to call upon the Committee responsible for this, to take action as soon as possible. I want to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for coming up with this strong Statement. It is timely at this particular moment. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support this Statement."
