    "content": "I can hear Hon. Chris Wakhungu Wamalwa, the incoming Governor of Trans Nzoia, saying that he is only a conveyor. As much as we cannot punish the conveyor or the messenger, he must also respond to the House in a manner that is in line with our own procedures and precedents. If you look at the issues that I sought to know from the Ministry, one was the question of whether this particular gentleman was deported or he left the country voluntarily. In matters to do with deportation, as the Chairperson has pointed out, you do not just wake up and you are deported. There ought to be - there should be - a deportation order. In line with our procedures as a House of records, it would have been only kind and fair that the Committee does justice in its work by interrogating this issue to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary has, indeed, produced before the Committee a response to the statement request. And I expected it would be one of the annexures. The annexure should have indicated there was a deportation order that was issued on the 8th or 9th of August. Two, if you listened to the statement carefully, you will realise that Mr. Aydin was issued with a work permit in November 2020. This work permit is what is being cancelled while he is in police custody. A day after they arrested him, they purported to cancel the work permit. The statement does not even say when the Cabinet Secretary or the Government got any adverse information, as they purport, regarding Mr. Aydin. I raise this matter because we have a tendency, especially notoriously from this Cabinet Secretary, of using Committees of this House and the precincts of Parliament to advance political innuendos and gossip, knowing that he probably has the protection of the House.
