• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. These are Kenyan soldiers working for this nation and they have disappeared for more than a month now and the Assistant Minister claims that they ran away from the forces of Somalia. However, he has not indicated to us how they ran away from them. Was it on foot or by vehicle, because they left the vehicle behind? But more importantly, the Assistant Minister has claimed that they are going on with the investigations. What do investigations entail? Do we now have our military in Somalia searching for these people? view

We really want to thank and congratulate them for that. view
