"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am pained that this House cannot protect the children of this country. Ms. Odhiambo requested for a Ministerial Statement here. The Minister has been here with the Statement. I have talked to him and he has deliberately decided not to issue it. Therefore, I rise on a point of order because these children were not listened to when they went to the Commissioner of Police through the usual process. If we do not listen to these children, as Parliament, where will they go? As I say this, I have with me actual evidence that the country director of this organization and one of the trustees where these children were being molested went and recorded a statement with the police over three weeks ago. That has been ignored. They have gone ahead and approached Khaminwa and Khaminwa Advocates. A copy of that letter is here. They wrote to the Commissioner of Police stating that they would like to be invited to give evidence that could lead to the arrest of this priest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the House to take this into consideration. If it is lack of evidence that is making it difficult for this priest to be arrested, again, this morning I found this Visual Compact Disc (VCD) in my pigeon hole. When I looked at it on my computer, I found an orgy of what goes on in this institution. The VCD shows the suspect actually molesting little boys. These are children of poor people. I would like to table this VCD so that the Commissioner of Police can use it to act on this case."
