“Kenyans took the bullets on behalf of American people, we want to urge our friends in United States of America to see how victims of the bomblast are going through and consider compensating them as soon as possible.
Our citizens took the bullets that did not belong to our them because it was the fight between American and Al-Qaeda terror insurgents,” Kalonzo emphasised
Senate Ad-hoc committee Chairperson Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu Muthama who is investigating the matter disclosed that they are meeting American counterpart in the next two weeks
“We will be meeting USA committee and we shall make sure that no stone will be left unturned, our people must be compensated by American Government.
