    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. The issue the Member for Nandi Hills raised is very serious, and it should be of great concern to Kenyans. I remember that in the last Parliament, a similar issue was reported in some of the dailies accusing the same facility. The country was going for elections around that time, so some people thought the issue had to do with politics. As alluded to by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, it is true that there is a lacuna in law. A Bill by Hon. Mwenje is trying to cure that lacuna. Unfortunately, some local newspapers ran ahead of the House and said many bad things about that issue. Notwithstanding that setback, this is purely a criminal case. Kenyans should also be more sensitised about that vice. With the many instances of Kenyans disappearing, there is a more significant cause for worry. There could be a strong correlation between this matter and the disappearance of some Kenyans. There have been many allegations relating to the same. I agree with you that as much as we should pursue the legal aspect, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other investigatory institutions should work speedily and thoroughly investigate those cases. The culprits should be apprehended if found guilty."
