• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, in addition as part of the Statement, I wish the Chairman to bring to the House an explanation as to the role of the US Embassy in Nairobi in helping the American diplomat evade justice by facilitating his escape from Kenya and what steps the Kenya Government has taken to ensure justice is done to the Lukindo family, particularly his pregnant wife and three children.
