"content": " On a point of Order Hon. Speaker. I was just wondering loudly under the Standing Orders of this House. The Committee of Trade, Industry and Cooperative oversees SEZs. Probably, the inquiry thought of by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning would be appropriate if there could be some kind of collaboration or a joint Committee. Occasionally, we grapple with the same issues in our Committee. We wonder about the economic impact of the incentives. Do they simply amount to tax expenditures that are adding no value to the economy of this country? Therefore, I seek your indulgence if you could make it a joint Committee."

"content": "I actually thought in that direction when the Statement came to me. When I read it carefully, I realised that it deals with matters of taxes and finance much more than trade. Should it be necessary for the two Committees to act jointly, I will direct the Clerk to speak to both Chairmen and advise accordingly. However, I think the pertinent issues raised relate more to taxation and finance than trade. You have a point. It crossed my mind severally when I looked at the matter. Next is the Member for Mwala Constituency, Vincent Musyoka. Yes, Hon. Kawaya."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the mysterious death and cremation of Mr William Alfred Mulwa Mutilangi, a Kenyan citizen of Passport No.CK32227. Until his death, Mr Mutilangi was a renowned innovator working for Pepsi International in the State of New York, USA. Following his death, people not related to him cremated his remains in the USA. It was under a Power of Attorney prepared by Kahuthu & Co. Advocates, a Kenyan law firm. One Mr Bakari, an alleged Tanzanian national who claims to be the deceased’s son, obtained a Power of Attorney. Of note, the deceased’s relatives were neither aware nor informed of the cremation. This raises concerns on the motive and the hurried cremation. The family of the deceased has not been able to establish the cause of death because the funeral home where the remains of Mr Mutilangi had been preserved declined to provide information, citing that it was receiving many inquiries from multiple interested parties. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: 1. What is the status of investigations into the suspicious hospitalisation, mysterious death and hurried cremation of Mr Mutilangi in the USA under a Power of Attorney by Kahuthu & Co. Advocates under unclear circumstances without involvement of the family of the deceased? 2. What steps has the Government taken to ensure that all perpetrators of the death and the issuance of the suspicious Power of Attorney for the cremation of Mr Mutilangi are brought to book and prosecuted? 3. What action has the Government taken to ensure that Mr Mutilangi’s family is protected from threats by persons likely to be associated with his death, including securing them from being disinherited from the estate of their deceased kin? 4. What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that all Kenyans who die in the diaspora are well preserved and their remains efficiently transported back to their families, if they so wish? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
