"content": "The Bill by the Kenya Tissue Transplant Authority came to this House, had issues, and was withdrawn. We currently have a Bill in our drafting office that is undergoing pre- publication scrutiny. Therefore, we will soon have a law that will govern that matter. Meanwhile, those are very serious allegations that even the public must be concerned about. When you talk about people harvesting organs from unsuspecting Kenyans and trafficking them, that means that the matter goes beyond our borders. Therefore, we agree with your direction that we have to call the Inspector-General of Police. We will also have to visit Eldoret and Langas, where the matter was reported, to find out what the authorities have done so far. We also need to go to Mediheal Hospital to determine the number of organ transplant cases. We will also request members of the public and anybody with information to volunteer it to the Committee so that we can prepare a comprehensive report. In view of the fact that we are going on recess, I ask you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, to use Standing Order 1 to ensure that the matter does not lapse so that the Committee can conduct thorough investigations during recess and report to the House when we resume. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
