    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Member for Kikuyu Constituency, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, sought a statement on the arrest and detention of Mr. Harun Aydin, a Turkish national. He particularly sought to be informed on the following: 1) The circumstances that lead to the arrest of and detention of Mr. Harun Aydin from 7th – 9th August 2021. 2) Why he was denied access to his lawyers and Turkish Embassy officials during this period. 3) The specific issues that led to Mr. Harun Aydin leaving the country and whether his departure voluntary or not. 4) Why he was not charged before a court of law besides being held in detention for over 48 hours. 5) What the Government has so far done to reassure the Turkish Government and its people and other investors that they will not be mistreated in Kenya as Mr. Harun Aydin was. The response is as follows: The National Police Service was established by Article 243 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and operationalised by the National Police Service Act, 2011 to among other functions enforce all laws. To this end, the National Police Service has been partnering with other Government agencies in enforcing various laws in the country. The Kenya citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011 bestowed the responsibility to issue and determine validity of a work permit or resident permit or a valid pass to the Immigration Department.
