"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister with regard to the allegations of criminal activities as contained in criminal complaint marked Secret/LEL Kenya tabled before the House on February 17th 2011 and the subsequent approval that I be designated as a significant drug trafficker on June 1st 2011 by the friendly Government of the United States of America (USA). In the Statement, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister should clarify the following:- (a) Whether in the year 2004, 1.1 tonnes of cocaine were seized at Pepe Inland Port. (b) Noting that Pepe is a custom area, who is responsible for enforcement, verification, assessment, the release of goods entering and leaving the port? What are the duties and responsibilities of the Pepe employees? (c) Whether any narcotic drugs have ever been transited through, found, intercepted or seized at Pepe Inland Depot. (d) Whether two containers coded No.PCLU433452/4 and PCLU433252/5 were in Pepe Inland Depot in December 2004. If not, where were they? (e) Whether a large consignment of cocaine weighing 1.1 tonnes was seized in Kenya in 2004 and if so, indicate where it was seized, who the culprits and the charges made against them, if any. Where are the drugs in question now? (f) How many containers shipped at or transshipped from the Port of Mombasa destined for North America or Europe have been intercepted, if ever, or seized containing narcotic drugs? If any, table a list of the same indicating the amount of the drugs in weight and the date when they were seized. (g) Whether the Moi Air Force Base in Eastleigh in Nairobi has ever been used for drug trafficking, the military vehicles, if any, used to ferry drugs and whether there are drug traffickers who are protected by the military officers as alleged in the criminal complaint marked Secret LEL Kenya. The Prime Minister’s Statement should also categorically explain whether the Kenya Government has ever investigated the criminal complaint marked Secret/LEL Kenya and, if so, state the findings and recommendations on the same and confirm the outcome of these investigations and whether they will be implemented. The Statement should also indicate whether the allegations were foreign instigated and whether the evidence has been requested under the Mutual Legal Assistance provisions of the respective countries. In the Statement, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister should confirm to this House whether the Member for Kilome Constituency has ever been involved in any narcotic drug trafficking, gun running, money laundering, smuggling, tax evasion, corruption, contract killing, human trafficking and/or any other international or organized crime as alleged in the Report. Lastly, noting that the Member, like any other person in Kenya, is entitled to enjoy his dignity, rights and freedoms as enshrined in the Constitution, the Statement should indicate what action the Government is taking to protect and ensure that the Member’s constitutional rights are not infringed."
