    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to revisit a matter that we discussed here yesterday, relating to the unfortunate incident in Uganda. I informed the House yesterday, based on information from our Embassy in Kampala, that one Kenyan lady called Mueni had been injured in the blast. Information now available indicates that a Kenyan whose names and details had been entered wrongly in the hospital records as a Southern Sudanese has, in fact, been identified as having lost his life in the blast. The next of kin have not been informed but he comes from Webuye Constituency in Bungoma East District. The second Kenyan, whom we are not quite sure of yet, relates to an identity card, half burnt. The only readable name is Khaemba indicating that he probably comes from Western Province of Kenya. Out of the 74 persons dead, we are informed that only two have not been positively identified because the blast was so severe that their heads were decapitated from the torsos. So, we are not sure that the identity card of Khaemba relates to one of the torsos that are yet to be identified through DNA. So, I would like to urge Kenyans, whose relatives are in Uganda, to also get in touch with them and where they are unable, they should reach my Ministry so that we can communicate whatever information is available. Once again, on behalf of my Ministry and the whole House, all colleagues here, I would wish to extend messages of condolences to the Kenyans who have lost their lives and, of course, to the Ugandan brothers and sisters who have lost their lives in that very sad event. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
