Kenya’s National Assembly has waded into the matter of its nationals jailed in Kampala for killing Ugandan soldiers during a cattle rustling incident.

This week, Protus Akuja, Member of Parliament for Loima in Turkana County, petitioned Parliament seeking the intervention of the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs for the repatriation of the 41 Kenyans jailed in Uganda.
