• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I did say when all facts are clearly in our possession, including the in-depth postmortem, security report and our own report, we shall then be able to deal with the issue raised by hon. Mungatana. It will be premature at this stage to start asking for compensation. I think we will base it on factual information, so that both relatives of the victim and ourselves know how to proceed forward in search of that compensation. I can assure him that will be the end story. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I talked about the families also seeking redress. That is as a result that the Eastern Equatorial State officials have expressed deep regrets over the incident, terming it as an isolated case and informed us that Kenyans in Torit area are not being targeted by the security personnel. They additionally informed us that they will invite the family of the late Matu to open a case against the arrested suspects. Those being State officers, obviously, it is the Government that will have to foot the compensation bill. view

• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the eastern part of that State, it is an isolated case. In the Republic of South Sudan, since 2008 to date, we have had about 24 Kenyans killed in that period. This year alone, five Kenyans have been killed. That is why, when we were dealing with international relations, as a Minister for Foreign Affairs, I have taken the necessary step that is required under the International Relations Co-operation, to bring to the notice of the South Sudan Government of Kenya’s displeasure at the manner in which Kenyans are being killed without any reason whatsoever. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us understand one another. If there is an incident in a particular country, the process of addressing that issue is through a noteverbale. This was done by Kenya’s Ambassador to South Sudan, raising concern that Kenya is obviously uncomfortable that Kenyans should lose their lives, when they have gone there to participate in the investment activities of that nation. Secondly, I have also taken the liberty not to leave it at the level of note verbale . I have raised the bar to the level of my counterpart in South Sudan, again, reiterating our displeasure in ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have, as I said, met my counterpart this morning and raised my displeasure about this rather careless way of handling the Kenyan citizens in South Sudan. We have agreed and he has assured me that they have now deployed the newly recruited police – the 6,000 – to ensure that the safety, not only of Kenyans, but of other nationals is secured. At that level, I cannot exert anything more than the assurances that I have sought from my counterpart, which I did get this morning. I have already transmitted that message to our Ambassador. But ... view
