    "content": "Hon. Speaker: “Where?” Hon. Fatuma Gedi says: “Muteshi.” Hon. Speaker goes on to say: “There is no place called Muteshi in Kenya. Hon members, Hon. Fatuma is serious about what she is saying, it is only that I do not know, I know the geography of this country, but I do not know any part called ‘Muteshi.” Hon Fatuma said: “Let me clarify.” I told her: “Yes, please proceed. She said: “Hon. Speaker, you already ruled that on Thursday I should bring evidence. Muteshi is land which belongs to the late Muteshi, and is in Trans Nzoia.” I asked: “In Trans Nzoia?” Hon. Fatuma said: “Yes,” and I said: “Very well.” Hon Fatuma said: “Hon. Speaker, if you allow me, I will bring the details on Thursday at 2.30 p.m.; and I am on the record saying: “Thank you.” We agreed that Hon. Fatuma is doing that. She, indeed, approached me and said that she was going to do that. So, that is clear from that point. Hon. Members, not in anticipation, but you know I always have to go back to records and see how we have treated situations of this nature. An incident happened on 27th April 1993. It followed something which has been there on 22nd April 1993, during the Second Reading of the Veterinary Surgeons (Amendment) Bill. The Member for Kisumu Rural, Hon. (Prof.) Anyang- Nyong’o rose on a point of order with the intention to adjourn the debate on the Bill for the House to discuss a matter of a claim that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) was being robbed about Ksh25 billion a week. He proceeded to table certain documents in support of the claim, albeit without the Hon. Speaker’s consent. Therefore, on 27th April 1993, Hon. Speaker Kaparo observed that the Member did not explain what the papers were about or the origin of the papers, and they had no signatures. Hon. Speaker then ruled that the papers purportedly laid on the Table of the House by Hon. Anyang-Nyong’o could not be admitted into the records of the House for the reason that the Member did not follow the procedure for laying Papers as explained. He clarified that though restrictive, the guidance was meant to ensure that Papers laid on the Table are legitimate. On 10th September 2009,that is during the 10th Parliament, the then Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Martha Karua tabled some documents relating to corruption allegations. After scrutinising the documents, Hon. Speaker Marende ascertained that the documents were not signed, and on 10th September, 2009, the Hon. Speaker ruled that the documents were inadmissible and would not be allowed to go on the record of the House. On 18th January 2011, the then Member for Juja, Hon. William Kabogo, tabled three documents: a letter dated 20th December 2010, from the said Member addressed to the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, the late Prof. George Saitoti. The document was titled “Classified Information in the United States;” and a document which the Hon. Member described as a “dossier” containing the names of Hon. Members said to be involved in drug trafficking. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
