    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that, yesterday, I did attempt to give an answer to this Question. I said that there were two aspects of this Question. The first aspect was the final report. Since yesterday, I have been able to get the Kenya Gazette Notice which set up the Committee. According to the Terms of Reference, the Committee was supposed to submit an initial progress report on 15th November, 2007. The final report was to be handed over to the President after 12 months. The final report which is, as I said, at the heart of this matter, has not been handed over to His Excellency the President, who is the appointing authority. You will also recall that Ms. A. Abdalla tabled a copy of a letter dated 15th November, 2007 which was addressed to His Excellency the President at State House. I undertook to carry out a thorough investigation to get down to the root of the matter and find out what it is. It is, indeed, true that on 15th November, 2007, the initial progress report was submitted - and not handed over - to His Excellency the President. You will appreciate that when such a letter is sent to His Excellency the President in State House, it does not automatically mean that the Minister in charge of internal security has that copy. I want to, therefore, state as follows: First, I would wish to be given a little bit more time so that I can be able to get hold of that initital progress report, so that I can come and table it here. Secondly, because the final report has not yet been presented to His Excellency the President, I will undertake to facilitate a date when the Committee can present its report to the President."
