"content": " Yes. Indeed, the real inciters to hatred in this country are the media, especially the print media. They are the ones who have been inciting our youths by bringing up issues that are foreign to them. They are trying to negatively portray leaders who speak out against what is happening or what is being planned, and casting them in bad light. They are attempting to intimidate leaders. I am standing in this House to state that what happened last year was indeed an attempted civilian coup, and it shall be stated as such. I shall continue saying so. Those who are planning to bring our children to the streets tomorrow are the people we are addressing. We are telling them that they shall not escape the rule of law, whoever they may be. Trying to intimidate peace-loving Kenyans like myself is an effort in futility. They shall not succeed, and they will not succeed at any time. These people are inciters. They are the worst inciters that this country has ever witnessed, and we shall call them out for who they are. As the Member of Parliament for Tiaty, I am a peace-loving Kenyan, and I shall ensure that any Kenyan demonstrating peacefully shall return home safely. However, anyone who comes with the intention of destroying the property of others, or who arrives with the intention of disturbing the peace, shall be met with the full force of the law. It cannot be right that those who incite the youth go scot-free and when we call them out, we are labelled warmongers. That shall not be allowed."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the disappearance of Mr Reuben Barua, a Kenyan, in the United States of America (USA). On 13th May 2025, Mr Reuben Barua of Identity Card Number 550886 and his wife, who reside in Ndumberi in Kiambu Constituency, travelled to the State of Alabama in the USA to visit their son. Upon arrival on 14th May 2025, Mr Barua fell ill and his son took him to receive medical attention at a nearby hospital. However, the following day, on 15th May 2025, Mr Barua reportedly left the house for a walk and has not been seen or heard from since then. The matter was reported to the Calera Police Station in Alabama. It has now been over 4 weeks since his disappearance, yet no substantial update has been communicated to the family regarding the progress of investigations. This has left the family in a state of uncertainty and distress. The situation has also raised concerns about the safety and well- being of Kenyans abroad, as well as the effectiveness of our diplomatic interventions in such instances. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

Long-term strategies taken by the Government to enhance the safety and welfare of Kenyans travelling abroad. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
